Branch Out is a tree giveaway collaboration between multiple community partners to collectively grow the Tacoma-area urban forest. Our intent is to uplift and call out the intersection of trees, human health, equity, and community building. Past and present community partners include: Homeownership Center NW, Valeo Vocation, VFW McKinley, SunAlliance, Tacoma Public Schools, Pierce Conservation District, City of Tacoma Urban Forestry Program, and Pierce County Parks.

Funding for Branch Out is provided by the City of Tacoma, Pierce Conservation District, and Pierce County Parks.

We believe that everyone deserves tree-lined streets! Each Branch Out tree that is planted helps Tacoma communities grow healthier, happier, and grittier in the face of pollution and extreme weather.

Residents from the Tacoma urban area can sign up to receive FREE TREES for their property on November 4, 2023 and also to request planting support from our volunteer teams.  Please note: planting assistance can only be provided to residents living within Tacoma’s city limits.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with planting and for Tree Captains (volunteers who take a leadership role).
