• Rogue Treesiliency

    The Treesilience Program is dedicated to increasing tree canopy in the Rogue Valley, with a special focus on underserved and vulnerable communities disproportionately impacted by environmental challenges. As climate change accelerates the decline of urban canopies in the region, this program takes proactive steps to plant climate-resilient, large-canopy trees. By enhancing urban greenery, Treesilience aims to mitigate the effects of rising temperatures, improve air quality, and strengthen community resilience. Through collaboration with local organizations and residents, the program fosters equitable access to the environmental, social, and health benefits provided by a thriving urban forest.
