Mission

Neighborhood Forest is a non-profit, social venture dedicated to giving children their very own tree to plant on Earth Day – for free – every spring. We love trees! We love planting them and watching them grow. We want to give every child this joy. And, in the process, beautify our neighborhoods, remove carbon from the atmosphere, and help instill in the hearts of our little ones a sense of magic, wonder, and love for our planet. Since 2010, Neighborhood Forest has mobilized over 5,000 schools, libraries, and youth groups, engaged over 750,000 volunteers, and given over 310,000 children in all 50 states (and 7 provinces in Canada) the opportunity to plant their very own tree. We are growing at a rapid rate and are on track to reach 1 million children in the next few years. Our dream is to reach every child in North America and eventually the world.
