We are an organization committed to Seattle's Tree Canopy preservation and growth.  We are currently petitioning the City of Seattle to live up to state and city commitments of 30% tree canopy by 2037. Please support the SEATTLE NEEDS TREES petition:

​
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 PETITION
Development is taking its toll on our tall trees.
Stumps are becoming way too common.

We have taken legal action to require the
City of Seattle to live up to its commitments to maintain and grow our urban tree canopy.

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.
