Activities
The Tree Partnership Program is a large-scale volunteer tree planting initiative transforming vacant land across Chicago’s neighborhoods into tree-filled green spaces, improving Chicago’s neighborhoods’ environmental health, beauty, and livability. Launched in 2008 with the generous support of the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, the goal of the Tree Partnership Program is to plant and care for 15,000 trees in Chicago by 2015.
Volunteers planting a tree.
Socially responsible businesses, community organizations and individuals partner with Chicago Gateway Green to sponsor large-scale volunteer tree plantings throughout the city, which in turn help work toward the urban sustainability goals of the Chicago Climate Action Plan.
You can donate to a neighborhood tree grove, volunteer at a planting event or ask your employer to sponsor a new grove near you. Everyone has a role to play, and we need you to get involved today!
Impact
