We are the Arbor Day Foundation

We’re a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. In the face of a changing world, we’re scaling our efforts to plant 500 million trees by 2027 in areas where they’re needed most. With a strong network of global partners, a science-based approach, and more than 50 years of planting trees all over the world, we know what it takes to make it happen.

Help us plant more trees, educate more people, get more hands in the dirt, and support more lives across the globe.
