Trees for Missoula promotes a sustainable, equitable, climate resilient urban forest through education, advocacy, stewardship, and community engagement.

TREES FOR NORTHSIDE/WESTSIDE & FRANKLIN TO THE FORT

We’re excited to announce that we received a second grant from the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) to plant 75 trees in the Northside, Westside, and Franklin to the Fort, continuing our efforts to plant and care for trees in neighborhoods with low tree canopy. Over the next two years, we’ll be planting 45 trees in public Rights-of-Way and 30 trees on private properties in these three neighborhoods. We’re excited to continue planting and caring for trees, building relationships with neighborhood residents and organizations, and growing tree canopy in the areas of Missoula that need it most!

We need your help! If you live in Northside, Westside, or F2F, let us know where in the neighborhood you’d like to see trees planted - both on public rights-of-way or on your private property. Email info@treesformissoula.org with planting site suggestions.

We’re also looking for residents to become volunteer “Tree Ambassadors” to help with tree planting, watering, and future care. Sign up to volunteer here!

MISSION & VISION

Trees for Missoula’s mission is to promote a healthier, sustainable, climate resilient urban forest through community planning, stewardship, education and advocacy.

We’re committed to executing this work through the lens of climate change. Building a climate-resilient community is one of our many efforts at Climate Smart Missoula. Urban trees are an essential piece of climate resiliency efforts, as they have the power to sequester carbon emissions and protect us against hotter temperatures and other extreme weather events.

Our goal is to build and sustain an urban forest that benefits the Missoula community. To do this, we plant and prune trees, educate residents about the benefits of urban trees and tree care, and advocate for strong urban forest policy.
