September is Trees for Wildlife™ Month, which is a perfect time to support and celebrate the National Wildlife Federation’s efforts to plant native trees with our nationwide network of community partners!
About Trees for Wildlife™ Month
Planting native trees is one of the most vital actions we can take for people and wildlife!
The National Wildlife Federation's Trees for Wildlife™ program partners with schools, municipalities, universities, local organizations, and other eligible applicants to get native trees in the ground across the nation.
Over the last decade, NWF has supported the planting of over 620,000 native trees in communities. Learn more here about our program impact and completed projects from 2021 - today!
