OUR Community Forestry
Tree by tree, we are growing and stewarding the next generation.

Our Mission
We are dedicated to fostering resilient, inclusive, and sustainable urban forests for underserved and climate-vulnerable communities across Oregon. Our mission is to restore, protect, and expand urban tree canopy, ensuring equitable access to the critical environmental, economic, and human-health benefits that healthy urban forests provide. Through education, job creation, and long-term stewardship, we empower these communities to actively participate in the care and growth of their urban forests, building lasting resilience for future generations.

What is Urban Forestry &
Why is it Important?
Urban forestry involves the care and management of trees and green spaces in cities and towns, improving air quality, enhancing biodiversity, and combating climate change in our region. These spaces also boost public health by reducing stress, encouraging activity, and filtering pollutants.
We extend these benefits to rural areas and a vairety of diverse communities to support healthy ecosystems everywhere. Investing in forestry is a commitment to creating healthier, more resilient landscape for all.
