PEOPLE NEED TREES
AND TREES NEED PEOPLE...
Please join us in this essential, vibrant partnership.

Trees and People Coalition works to ensure that people in all neighborhoods in Seattle have trees close to where we live. Our mission: To educate and engage all people to grow and protect urban trees for the benefit of all Seattle communities.
TREES GIVE US:
  • Oxygen to breathe
  • Carbon capture and storage
  • Better physical and mental health
  • Shade in the summer
  • Protection from wind in the winter
  • Clean air
  • Water filtration
  • Stormwater drainage and protection from
    floods and landslides
  • Less crime and increased feeling of safety
  • Habitat for wild birds, animals, and beneficial insects
  • Beauty
SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS TO SAVE SEATTLE'S URBAN FOREST
Development is taking its toll on our tall trees.
Stumps are becoming way too common.

The City’s stated goal is 30% tree canopy
​ by 2037. But Seattle’s tree canopy is decreasing, especially in neighborhoods that already lack enough trees. Current City policies will cause more tree loss.
​
If you live in Seattle, please email the City Council and tell them how important our tree canopy is to you. Please encourage them to pass legislation that protects trees, not developers.
