Trees are more important than ever to our environment, especially where we live, work and play. They clean polluted air, cool the atmosphere, absorb excess rainfall, add value to our homes and businesses, and inspire us with their beauty and grace. As our cities and communities grow, trees provide a vital link to nature.

Since its inception in 1992, the Tour des Trees has evolved into the largest non-governmental source of funding for tree research and education in America, and the signature fundraising and public education event for the TREE Fund.
