Planting.
Educating.
Advocating.
The Newton Tree Conservancy is a non-profit organization in Newton, Massachusetts established in 2008 to restore, enhance and protect Newton’s Urban Forest. It was born out of the recognition that the city is not in a position to cover all the costs necessary to maintain our City trees — the trees along our streets and in our parks and other public areas — and that in order to continue to enjoy the economic and environmental benefits of these trees, we must take action to develop initiatives that will supplement what can be supported through the city’s budget. While it works in cooperation with the City of Newton Division of Urban Forestry, the Newton Tree Conservancy is an independent and private nonprofit that receives no direct funding from the City of Newton.
Our Mission
To promote the health of Newton’s trees through:
Funding for planting and care of new trees, as well as preservation pruning and tree maintenance in a way that will supplement — not replace — city funding;
Educational programs to build public awareness of the value of trees and the risks of not properly caring for and replacing trees along streets and in parks and other public places, and to help people know how to keep their own trees healthy;
Training programs and volunteer opportunities to give citizens an opportunity to participate in tree maintenance and planting.
