Trees in Communities
Community Tree Distributions
Our tree distribution solutions help utility providers, cities, and organizations engage with homeowners to plant trees and connect with their community.
Right tree. Right place.
Planting trees on private property – along with robust public parks and greenspaces – creates a thriving tree canopy. That’s why it’s essential that local organizations engage homeowners to help plant more trees in their community.
Getting the right tree in the right place requires the right partner. That’s why we connect corporate partners, local governments, utility providers, and others to our network of tree professionals. By sharing decades of experience and proven resources, we can help communities plant more trees to become healthier, more resilient and more enjoyable.
Find the Right Program
The Arbor Day Foundation can equip you with technology and resources that let you be the hands-on manager of your program – or we can connect you with local experts to help lead the way.
A turnkey approach
Partner-Led Programs
We can partner together to determine what the program will look like, all while using our community tree distribution tool. It gives you more control, allowing you to target specific zip codes with select tree species. The Arbor Day Foundation will help you with expertise and tree sourcing. And with our digital tree distribution platform, we can also help educate residents on where and how to plant their new trees.
Lean on local professionals
Expert-Led Programs
If your program needs more local expertise, we can help. We can connect you with planting partners in your area to support their tree distribution events. Those experts can take the lead in selecting and sourcing the right trees, educating citizens, and promoting distribution on your behalf.
