Trees Roanoke is on a mission to support Roanoke City's urban forest by purchasing and growing trees for planting on city property and by supporting community education to illustrate the health, environmental, and economic benefits of our city trees.
We are an all-volunteer organization that works closely with the Roanoke Tree Stewards, a volunteer group trained and organized by the City of Roanoke Department of Parks and Recreation.
