Getting Street Trees
You have three options for getting street trees: Green Blocks, Branch Out, or GRIT City Trees.
Green Blocks: our neighborhood-specific program that provides community outreach, engagement, and TREES!
Branch Out: a tree giveaway collaboration between multiple community partners to collectively grow the Tacoma-area urban forest.
GRIT City Trees: the City of Tacoma’s annual free street tree program for Tacoma residents.
Together we can grow a greener, healthier, and more connected Greater Tacoma area, Pierce County and the watersheds of Puget Sound. Your donation helps us continue our work of advocating, education, and planting around Tacoma. It takes $100 to plant a tree. However, at TTF we do more than just plant trees. $100 could teach 30 people how to plant a tree and provide 100 community members with information about the amazing benefits of our growing urban forest.
Support your community through planting, education, outreach and more!
Your individual strengths will help us make a difference in the region! Choose from the wide variety of volunteer opportunities available!
