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.
