We’re already 76% of the way to our $40,000 goal—but we need your help to get across the finish line. While grants help us put trees in the ground, they don’t fund the daily work it takes to advocate, educate, and care for our growing canopy.
The Alliance is most visible when we’re handing out free native trees and planting across the city—but behind the scenes, we’re working every day to protect Wilmington’s urban forests and natural areas. Help us carry out this mission. Donate today to support the people powering this work.
A Season of Impact,
Made Possible By You
Together, we grew roots, built shade, and shaped a greener tomorrow.
Our Trained Stewards Led the Way
This past planting season, we trained 50+ tree stewards who’ve cared for 400+ trees!
Partnered With the City of Wilmington
This formal partnership has expanded plantings and stewardship efforts in communities where tree equity is urgently needed.
Launched Code and Canopy
We laid the groundwork for stronger protections through Code & Canopy, our ambitious new advocacy initiative to stop unchecked development from wiping out mature trees.
Spoke Up for the Canopy
We advocated to protect Sledge Forest, improve state legislation, and preserve land like the Flossie Bryan Tract for future generations.
In the 2024 -2025 planting season, we planted 148 trees and distributed 900 more! This season, we are set to plant more than 200 trees and distribute 4,300 more.
