Forest ReLeaf of Missouri -- 30 Years. 230,000 Trees. (and counting!)
Forest ReLeaf is dedicated to planting and growing a resilient tree canopy across Missouri, to support healthy people, healthy habitats, and a healthy planet. We connect, educate, and empower individuals and communities. We champion the value of trees.
We need trees -- For the air we breathe, the water we use, and the wildlife we love. Trees benefit the greater good in ways that most of us don’t think of. At Forest ReLeaf, we believe that the countless benefits of trees are worth finding creative solutions. That’s why we work with community groups, individuals, municipal governments, under-resourced communities and non-profits in order to steward the expansion of native tree growth across Missouri.
We don’t just plant trees randomly
We strategically plan for well-adapted, ecologically appropriate trees in the right places to support thriving, biodiverse forest systems across our urban and wildlands. The passion of our volunteers and partners will change the narrative of our future. We leverage the power of people and partnerships, to enhance our healthy forests and connect with nature.
