Help us make urban neighborhoods greener and healthier. For every Home Equity Agreement we enter into, we plant a tree in your name or assist with an urban garden, helping to grow the urban forest and increase the health of residents in urban communities.
About 85% of the U.S. population lives in suburban and urban areas and may not have access to traditional rural forests, but gardens, parks and street trees comprise what is called an urban and community forest.¹ These pockets of greenspace are vitally important because they are the sources of daily access to trees, which provide numerous health benefits, including boosting our immune system.
