Tree, Sapling, and Native Plant Giveaways 

The Tree Trust hosts tree and sapling giveaways to ensure that trees are planted and cared for properly all across Boulder County, including on private property. Giveaways are hosted with the intentions to expand and enhance our urban canopy, as well as allowing community members the opportunity to get involved in climate stewardship- in their very own backyards. Giveaways are also hosted to restore private land after natural disasters, such as the Marshall Fire.

Our next giveaway will take place at the Boulder Farmers Market on April 26, 8 AM - 2 PM while supplied last.

Community Forestry Corps 

Launched in June 2024, the Community Forestry Corps empowers local youth to care for trees planted by our Tree Trust while acquiring knowledge about the power of nature to combat climate change, giving back to the planet and our communities, and learning about potential career pathways in urban forestry and nature-based climate solutions.
