Tree Trust

A unique program that invests local donations to preserve local legacy trees🌳

[Tree Trust @treetrusttrees]

The benefits of one mature tree are equal to those of 280 saplings. This is why we work to save the mature trees in our communities.

This week we're promoting the importance of BIG TREES, because they really are the ones who do the most.
