Founded in 1985, Trees Atlanta works every day to address Atlanta’s tree loss, protect its forests, and create new green space. Empowered by its wonderful community of volunteers, Trees Atlanta serves the metro Atlanta area, and has grown to become one of Atlanta’s most widely known and supported non-profit organizations. Our mission statement: Trees Atlanta is a nationally-recognized citizens' group that protects and improves Atlanta’s urban forest by planting, conserving, and educating.
