Support our community (Donate Now or Set up a Legacy Donation)

We are planting and promoting a healthy community. 

Donate to help provide the many benefits of trees to our neighborhoods and community.

Lafayette, Indiana has a sizable urban forest today.  The trees along the streets, in parks, in urban woods, around businesses, in individual yards, and other places make up our urban forest.  The urban forest provides oxygen to breathe, cooling during the summer, cleans the air, and reduces noise.  It provides indirect benefits of reducing crime, reducing stress, contributes to better health, reduces flooding, reduces the effects of climate change, and increases property values.  Best of all, trees are beautiful.

As large as our urban forest is today, it needs to be increased to provide the benefits needed today and to reduce global climate change effects in the future.  Tree Lafayette has contributed to the urban forest by planting over 4,000 trees but much more needs to be done.  Tree Lafayette promotes a healthy community by providing education, leadership, and inspiration in planting and caring for trees.  We accomplish our goals by planting and maintaining trees, providing educational resources, providing adult education, providing education in 3rd grade school classes, promoting the value of trees, and encouraging others to plant trees.

We must think about the future and plant trees now.  Your support is crucial to us to be able to provide a sustainable urban forest that provides the benefits needed by our community.
