Happy Earth Day!

Friday, April 22 is Earth Day, a day that inspires and mobilizes people around the world to to protect and preserve the Earth’s natural environment.
You’ve probably heard the expression, “Earth Day is every day!” And that’s especially true at Tree Trust.

Every day, for 35 years, we have worked in partnership with youth and adults to improve the local environment and transform their lives. We still do this today, because we believe there is a need — now more than ever — to connect people with one another and the natural world.

As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we’re proud of our impact on the Twin Cities.

  • We’ve involved 13,000 volunteers in the planting and distribution of 76,000 trees and 380,000 seedlings, shrubs and plants.

  • We’ve educated 105,000 students on the importance of protecting and preserving the environment.

  • We’ve helped 42,000 youth and adults gain job skills and self-confidence while leaving a lasting, positive impact in their own communities.

  • What are you doing to celebrate Earth Day? How about getting involved with us? Volunteer to plant trees this spring or make a donation to support our work.

    In observance of Earth Day, we hope you'll come together around our common environmental cause: trees for the Twin Cities. Whether you volunteer, donate, or spread the word, your support makes our community that much greener.
