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.

Our Goals in Support of Our Mission

As the primary advocate for Norwalk’s urban forest, we advance our mission through four activities that complement and connect to each other:

PLANT

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

EDUCATE

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

ADVISE

We advise key constituencies on matters related to Norwalk’s urban forest.

COLLABORATE

We partner with the City and other organizations to ensure Norwalk’s continued status as a “Tree City USA.”
