Tree Trust

About the Tree Trust

The Tree Trust is a program led by the PLAY Boulder Foundation to work with citizens to support trees in Boulder and promote a healthy urban canopy for years to come.

Tree Trust’s goal is to provide citizens with resources to care for their trees, tools to recognize and prevent developing diseases in the area, and the aid to retain and expand a sustainable urban canopy. Plans are underway to help expand and sustain Boulder’s urban canopy by forming new community partnerships with Cool Boulder.

For more resources & to learn why support for the program matters, visit our Tree Trust Blog.


Become a Tree Tender

The Tree Tender program educates and empowers citizens to take care of their local trees. By becoming a Tree Tender, you will:

Tree Tenders as Tree Champs

Trees in our community spaces need to be maintained. Our Tree Tenders volunteer their time to keep trees healthy and growing strong!
