Help Us Grow A Cooler Community

The Trees Are Cool Initiative set a goal of planting one million trees by 2050, and we encourage everyone – residents, businesses, and community groups – to get involved in planting and recording trees so we can maintain and grow a cooler, healthier, and more resilient community for generations to come.
