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 canopies, ensuring equitable access to the critical environmental, economic, and social 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.
