Consideration will be given to involvement with community associations, NGOs, environmental groups, environmental history societies, political action groups, municipalities, charity activities, and any other similar organizations, provided they are engaged in and have an impact upon urban forestry.

Nominations must come from host organizations and address the significant contributions made by the individual they are nominating.
