About the Arbor Day Foundation

Across borders, beyond status, trees bring people together to do great things. It’s why our mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Because trees don’t just change us, they change the future.

We make anyone a tree planter

Whether with affordable access to trees from our nursery or through supporting massive planting efforts, anyone can make a difference with us. Through our global planting partners, we can fuel projects in communities and forests anywhere. We leverage a combination of science and our partners’ local expertise to make sure the right trees are planted in the right places for the right reasons.

Trees bring people together to do great things

We can’t meet this moment alone. But collectively, we can make a difference. It’s why we bring together a vast and vibrant network of individuals, corporations, and planting organizations making the world better through trees. And because growth goes well beyond planting, we facilitate education, guides, webinars, resources, networking, conferences, and more to move the field of trees forward.

Elevating the role of trees

We’ve seen the profound good trees can do. It’s why we work to build greater understanding of why we need them. We celebrate the success of our partners and recognize communities, campuses, and utilities for committing to a framework that ensures urban forestry programs thrive. We share the perspectives of those who directly feel the effects of our planting projects, so whether through stories or reporting dashboards, you know how your support is making a real difference.
