Each Arbor Day Foundation recognition program is designed to create consistent, measurable standards for urban forestry, while also celebrating the hard work done to support trees around the world.
Recognizing those growing good
Our programs range from tree-loving schools and hospitals, to utility companies, to entire cities that are committed to tree canopy. Each program equips leaders with a consistent framework, helpful resources, and a robust peer network. And each program works together to create an infrastructure for tree care in every community.
Why Partner with the Arbor Day Foundation?
Commitment
Our frameworks help create a consistent, reliable foundation that your program can grow on over the years. With our standards-based programs you can ensure an ongoing commitment to leadership, collaboration, investment, and education to help support your short- and long-term goals.
Resources
When you partner with the Arbor Day Foundation, you gain access to a vast network of urban forestry experts. Get new ideas, best practices, and the support and advice you need to grow your program.
Networking
This work is too big and too important to go it alone. Regardless of the size of your team, partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation enables you to collaborate with tree champions like you facing similar challenges and opportunities.
Recognition
If a person plants a tree alone in the forest and nobody sees it, does it make a difference? Yes! But recognition and validation are still critical to building morale, sustaining your program, and engaging your community. That’s exactly what you’ll get as an Arbor Day Foundation partner.
