Programs
Growing change through community action.
Tree Fresno's programs plant trees, expand green space, and build community partnerships throughout the Central San Joaquin Valley. Through resident trees, community plantings, education, and stewardship, we create healthier neighborhoods and a greener future.
Community SPACES
Community
Outreach
Creating cooler, healthier neighborhoods across the Valley.
We transform vacant lots, parks, and public spaces into thriving green areas. Through partnerships with schools, parks, and community groups, we're building shade, beauty, and climate resilience where the Central Valley needs it most.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Vegetative Barriers
Protecting communities from pollution while building green infrastructure.
We plant trees and vegetation near high-traffic areas to reduce air pollution and create healthier living environments. This work improves air quality and builds climate-adaptive neighborhoods.
We don’t work alone. When conditions are right, volunteers come out by the hundreds — each one inspired to plant trees and make Fresno a better place."

Our Story
For 40 years, Tree Fresno has been planting trees and building community partnerships throughout Fresno and the Central San Joaquin Valley.
We started in 1985 with a community telethon, and that same spirit continues today. Whether it's a single tree in a backyard, trees lining a busy street, or green spaces in a neighborhood park, every planting reflects our commitment to creating healthier, more beautiful communities.
Today, Tree Fresno continues that legacy by partnering with residents, businesses, schools, cities, and community members who believe that trees are the foundation for a greener, more livable San Joaquin Valley.

Tree Fresno's mission is to transform the San Joaquin Valley with trees, greenways, and beautiful landscapes.
We plant, care, inspire, teach, and steward — creating special places through trees, community partnerships, and long-term investment in the Valley we share. Through Tree Fresno's work, neighborhoods become greener, air becomes cleaner, communities become stronger, and futures become brighter.
