Leave your mark
Trees help us recover from severe weather caused by climate change. Our urban forest helps clean the air and keep us cool, saves energy and prevents flooding. Spending time near trees and in natural spaces can also improve our physical and mental health!
Plant trees, build corridors for wildlife, and help fight climate change close to home. Leave your mark on the world this Earth Day by planting trees and being the change for future generations.
Last year, we planted nearly 1,200 native trees and shrubs; let’s make this year even bigger than 2023!
