To Friends of the Greenwich Tree Conservancy:
Since our founding in January 2007, the Greenwich Tree Conservancy has proudly championed the essential role trees play in making our town more beautiful, healthier, and more protected. Trees are the quiet heroes of our daily lives, constantly working to purify our air, filter our water, stabilize soil, shield us from strong winds, and provide welcome shade that cools roads on warm summer days. Beyond these environmental gifts, trees significantly enhance the scenic beauty of our neighborhoods. Studies from the Arbor Day Foundation show that thoughtfully placed and well-tended trees can boost property values by up to 15%.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Greenwich Tree Conservancy partners closely with the Town of Greenwich to steward and expand our cherished tree canopy. Our dedicated efforts include planting new trees along roadways, documenting and protecting our town’s remarkable heritage trees, identifying ideal sites for future plantings, offering guidance on tree preservation, and advocating for thoughtful policies that include tree stewardship in town and utility planning.
We also offer enriching educational opportunities that bring people of all ages closer to nature. These include interactive tree programs with local schools, evening lectures, book talks, workshops, film screenings, as well as guided walks that promote community, health and appreciation of our local tree canopy. We also host our popular and festive Tree Party every year on Arbor Day. We warmly invite you to join us for one or many of these inspiring and fun events.
These meaningful activities are powered by the generous support of individuals like you, local businesses, our committed volunteer board and dedicated staff. Whether a gift to our tree-planting programs, a commemorative tree in honor of a loved one, or ongoing contributions, your support has a lasting impact, helping to create scenic beauty, cooler roads, and a healthier community for generations to come.
