About the Norwalk Tree Alliance

Our Mission

To promote and protect the urban forest of Norwalk, Connecticut, through education and advocacy that will broaden community understanding of the value of our forest and inspire commitment to its preservation and expansion.

PLANT

We encourage and facilitate the planting of trees on both public and private properties in the City of Norwalk.

Tree planting programs

EDUCATE

We implement education and awareness programs that target key constituencies within the community.
