Winterberry adds a pop of color to the landscape!

County leaf collection is expected to end after the 2023-2024 season.

This may be a different kind of ‘wild’, but we hope you join the native-plant landscape trend!

Fireflies are part of the magic of summer!

Native plants such as Lemon Bergamot (foreground purple flower) and Monarch’s Delight (orange flowers in background) are sources of sustenance for our native insects and form the basis of our threatened ecosystem. Planting natives helps address this endangered, crucial ecological tier.

Magnificent trees improve our quality of life.

Leaf litter helps birds throughout the winter months.

You can help bring fireflies back to Franklin Park

UFA will host a guided neighborhood tree walk in October
