Donate and make a difference!
Trees are important beyond their beauty. They significantly enhance the health and the quality of life of people living nearby. They are also an essential part of the City's "green infrastructure." Trees are important for managing stormwater runoff, preventing flooding, mitigating hotter temperatures in urban areas, and reducing pollution.
It costs between $250 and $300 to plant and maintain a tree during the critical first couple of years as it establishes itself. However, over its lifetime, a tree returns many times that value. Trees are a good investment!
In its brief 9 year history, the ACFT has planted 3,000 trees and given away another 15,000.
