Dr. Kamran Abdollahi
Baton Rouge, LA – On July 22, 2013, the United States Department
of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack appointed Dr. Kamran Abdollahi, Urban
Forestry Program Leader at Southern University Ag Center to the National Urban
and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) representing the interest area
of Academic Institutions with an expertise in Urban and Community Forestry
Activities. Dr. Abdollahi, whose appointment will stand for two years, is a
professor of Urban Forestry at the SU Ag Center and also serves as Professor/Program
Leader in Urban Forestry on SU Baton Rouge campus.
The National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council is
an appointed advisory council by the Secretary of Agriculture on urban forestry
and related issues. The 1990 Farm Bill created NUCFAC to bring together a wide
variety of voices raised about a common concern: the present health and future
preservation of America's urban forests. NUCFAC was founded to synthesize the
full spectrum of views into a consistent vision, as a foundation for practical
policy on urban forestry.
