TREE Fund

TREE Fund is a pivotal organization committed to advancing the fields of arboriculture and urban forestry. Established in 2002 through the merger of the International Society of Arboriculture Research Trust and the National Arborist Foundation, TREE Fund has awarded over $5.4 million in grants to foster research and education initiatives that enhance tree care and promote community sustainability.

The Fund focuses on a variety of critical areas, including the development of resilient tree species, pest management strategies, and advanced tree risk assessment techniques. By quantifying the benefits of trees, TREE Fund enables better investment decisions for both governments and businesses. They also provide education grants and scholarships to nurture the next generation of professionals in the green industries.

In addition to their research and educational efforts, TREE Fund organizes events like the Tour des Trees, which raises awareness and funds for tree-related causes, while fostering public engagement and stewardship towards nature. Through these initiatives, TREE Fund is shaping a greener future for communities globally.
