Get Involved
Your support helps restore and protect our environment for future generations.
DIY action
You have the power to make a difference. Whether it’s planting trees, speaking up for the environment, or making small, sustainable changes at home, your actions help create a healthier planet.
Plant a tree!
Planting a tree is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support the environment! Whether in your backyard, a community space, or a reforestation project, every tree planted contributes to cleaner air, cooler cities, and thriving ecosystems.
How to take action:
Get a free tree! Attend one of our tree giveaway events to receive a free native tree for your home or community.
Plant with confidence! Explore our free guide on proper tree planting, watering, and long-term care to help your tree grow strong and healthy.
Advocate for trees!
Your voice matters! Local, state, and federal policies shape the future of our environment, and speaking up for trees can make a real impact. By reaching out to your legislators, you can help influence decisions on conservation, urban forestry, and sustainability efforts in your community.
How to take action:
Contact your local, state, and federal representatives to express your support for tree protection and environmental initiatives.
Stay informed about legislation and policies affecting forests, urban green spaces, and conservation efforts.
Encourage your community to join you in advocating for a greener future.
Transform your space!
Small changes to your property can have a big impact on the environment! From conserving water to supporting wildlife, these simple actions help create a healthier, more sustainable community.
How to take action:
Build a Rain Barrel — We invite you to take part in our at-home water conservation efforts by setting up a rain barrel where you live.
Leave Your Leaves — Our friends at Keep Durham Beautiful invite you to join their initiative to improve biodiversity and climate resilience by allowing fallen leaves to decompose naturally where you live.
Lights Out — Our friends at Wake Audubon invite you to join their initiative to create a safer and healthier environment for migrating birds by reducing nighttime window collision.
