A low-cost, results-driven model for neighborhood reforestation.
The hard part of reforesting neighborhoods isn’t planting trees — it’s caring for them afterward. We reach communities through students and schools, so families plant their own trees and steward them for years.
Fruit trees ready for familiesStreet-tree projects tend to have low survival rates in neighborhoods where residents trust public institutions less, often the same places with the most pollution and the greatest need for shade.
Our trees programs offer families a free tree to plant together. They choose the kind of tree they want and pick it up at school to plant and care for in their own yards. We turn tree planting into a lesson for students and a long-term stewardship role for families.
