The Tree Bank Foundation

The Tree Bank Foundation has been going strong in Oklahoma for over two decades. This urban forestry project for public non-profit organizational land educates the public through the promotion, development and management of urban forestry projects through public and private partners.

The Tree Bank Foundation’s vision is to change, one tree at a time, Oklahoma’s landscape into thousands of trees. Trees provide beauty, color, character, community pride, architectural definition, improved air quality, and well being into the community.

Since it’s inception in 87, the Tree Bank Foundation has provided about a 100,000 trees. Each tree is of substantial size when planted (5’ or taller) and have a high success rate. Each individual tree receives maintenance through a 3 year agreement. The Tree Bank has also distributed over 100,000 seedlings.

You can find Tree Bank trees all over Oklahoma, although the projects are primarily in central Oklahoma. They’re located at public buildings, common areas, non-profits, on highways, parks and schools.

The Tree Bank also partners with Girl Scouts, The Air National Guard, Neighborhood Associations and other groups. Oklahoma treehuggers and the general populace all benefit from this great organization.
