OUR MISSION
Our mission is to preserve, protect, and plant trees to enhance the quality of life and health for present and future generations in the Lower Cape Fear area.
"By working with policymakers, planners, developers, and residents across the region, we aim to halt and reverse canopy loss, preserve community character, and safeguard the environmental services our forests provide. We’re here to make sure growth doesn’t come at the expense of the natural infrastructure that makes this place beautiful, livable, and resilient."
Isabelle Shepherd, Executive Director of the Alliance for Cape Fear Trees
