Vision and Focus

Our Vision is to leverage technology to provide objective, impartial information; cost-efficient networking and a new model for philanthropy, including diverse participation to support healthy urban and community forests. It's elemental.

Why TreeLink?

We have the knowledge to plan cities that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. Technology allows TreeLink to share that knowledge with every small town and large city in this country.

Technology plays a critical role in cost-efficient outreach and communications. TreeLink spotlights the vital role of urban and community forests to the future of our rapidly growing human habitat. We provide inreach to traditional resources and outreach to more than 100 countries. All can benefit from networking, research, community building and education outreach to expand name recognition and participation in the movement and discipline of Urban and Community Forestry.

Providing information, communications and inspiration, TreeLink is expanding this canopy of knowledge into community roots.

Values

Honesty, credibility and dependability.
