The Roseville Urban Forest Foundation (RUFF) is a nonprofit community membership organization serving the City of Roseville and surrounding region. Our vision is to have a healthy and perpetual urban forest.
RUFF is comprised of local citizens, corporate partners, business owners, city representatives and tree professionals. The foundation was founded in 1995.

We provide education, tree planting and stewardship. RUFF's mission is to establish and promote tree programs to foster the importance of the urban forest by:

• Proper Tree Planting and Stewardship
• Education and Training
• Volunteer Citizen Forestry
• Community Partnerships

The urban forest is more than just trees, it's about people, their community and their environment.

The Roseville Shade Tree Program is a community service sponsored by the Roseville Urban Forest Foundation(RUFF) and Roseville Electric. Free trees and materials are provided to residential and business customers of Roseville Electric. Community members take responsibility for planting and caring for their trees. RUFF, along with Roseville Electric, would like to perpetuate a healthy urban forest and help keep your homes cool in the summer with FREE SHADE TREES.
