Why trees?
Healthy communities have healthy trees. We are not just planting trees – we are establishing roots for a healthier future.
It's more than just trees.
Trees do more than just beautify our city. They contribute in meaningful and lasting ways to our community’s health, well-being, safety and quality of life.
The best friend of earth is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth.
