Event Description

Canopy Con returns April 23, 2026

Research demonstrates that trees are essential to human health and well-being. From alleviating stress to reducing cardiovascular disease and extending life expectancy, urban forests play a vital role in building healthier communities.

This year's theme: Healthy Trees – Healthy People

Join us for Canopy Con 26, Kentucky's premier conference on urban and community forestry. We'll be exploring the powerful connection between community tree copny, social and economic equity, and human well-being. Hear from nationally recognized experts, engage in hands-on field demonstrations, and discover practical strategies for translating research into action.

Whether you're a certified arborist, urban planner, public health professional, community advocate, or simply a fan of trees, this conference is for you. You'll leave with fresh insights, new connections, and actionable tools to strengthen the urban forest in your community.
