People for Trees™
Make a difference in your own backyard.
Within the first year of the People for Trees campaign, more than 1,000 Northeast Ohioans pledged to plant more than 4,000 trees in our neighborhoods.
In addition, Holden Forests & Gardens has planted more than 1,400 trees with the help of our community partners. This is great momentum, but we’re just getting started.
Holden Forests and Gardens’ People for Trees encourages and empowers residents in urban and rural communities to plant and care for a tree beginning with making a pledge. We will support each pledge with easy-to-follow instructional toolkits, guidance on how to select the most appropriate tree and where to purchase it, free virtual classes and other ongoing support.
Our goal is to have 15,000 trees planted and cared for together throughout Northeast Ohio by 2025.
Join the movement by filling out the pledge form below.
