Cultivating Tulsa's canopy since 1976.
We are proud and passionate supporters of our urban forests, because they support us right back.
United for one mission.
Empowering, educating and serving communities by utilizing trees for their environmental, economic and social benefits.
We have officially planted nearly 40,000 trees since 1976. Half a century later, we’re not slowing down. Our work makes our lives richer, our connections stronger and our community better. If every tree represents a word, then a neighborhood’s canopy is a sentence in our city's collective story.
What do you want our city’s story to be?
Our core values.
Service Oriented
We serve people by supporting trees. We’re collaborative, community-minded problem solvers who plant trees and educate the public to improve lives.
The plant people.

Our master plan.
We’re setting ambitious goals for managing, enhancing and growing our tree resources over the next 20 years to create an urban forest that is resilient, safe and connected to the community.
More than just greenery.
