Planting Trees, Growing Community in Norwalk
We are a non-profit organization that plants native trees, provides environmental education, and protects the urban forest of Norwalk, Connecticut.
At the Norwalk Tree Alliance, we believe that a greener future starts with us. Our mission is simple: plant and protect native trees, educate our community about environmental stewardship, and preserve Norwalk’s urban forest for generations to come.
Why Trees Matter Trees do more than beautify our city—they clean our air, cool our streets, support wildlife, and improve our overall well-being. By planting and caring for trees, we are investing in a healthier, more sustainable Norwalk.
Get Involved! We invite you to be a part of our mission. Whether you want to volunteer, donate, or learn more about our programs, there are many ways to make a difference:

What Our Community Says
Successful Tree Planting on Private Property
“I couldn’t be happier with the FREE tree planting I got from the Norwalk Tree Alliance on my property! The team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about their mission. Not only did they plant a beautiful baby native tree, but they also took the time to educate me on how to care for it properly year-round. My yard will have more shade, and I know I’m contributing to a healthier environment. I highly recommend supporting their efforts!” – Lisa P., Norwalk Resident
Arbor Day Celebration at Rowayton Elementary
“Our school’s Arbor Day celebration with the Norwalk Tree Alliance was an unforgettable experience for our students. The team provided an engaging and educational program that taught our kids about the importance of trees, conservation, and environmental stewardship. The highlight of the day was planting a tree together—students felt a real sense of pride knowing they were contributing to the future of our community. We can’t wait to work with them again!” – Mrs. Emily T., 2nd Grade Teacher
