Healthier Communities Through Healthy Trees

Our Community Forest Needs Your Help

The community forest is all around us. It’s made up of the trees in our yards, in our parks, along our streets, surrounding our public buildings, shading our parking lots, and growing along our streams.

Heartland Tree Alliance is your resource in the Kansas City region for information about trees, and ways to take action on behalf of our community trees. On these pages you’ll find all you need to get started, as well as links to some of the dozens of other sites about urban and community forestry that are also full of great information.

Our mission is to engage people of the greater Kansas City region to take action and advocate for a healthy community forest.

Tree Keepers Workshops: Volunteer Training for a Healthy Community Forest is a comprehensive training class where participants learn everything from tree identification and species selection to urban soils and diagnosing tree problems. For more information click here.”

Heartland Tree Alliance is the winner of the 2009 Arbor Day Gold Leaf award given by the Midwestern Chapter of ISA.
