Community Trees Matter Network Toolkit
Trees matter! For this reason (and many more listed below), we have compiled a variety of information, resources, ideas and wisdom to help protect and preserve more trees. Please join us!
If you have something you would like to see included here, please share it with us. Every action counts, no matter how small. Individually we can be stewards, collectively, we can harness the power of our integrated networks and greatly accelerate the change we want to see.
Why We Love Trees
Trees offer a multitude of benefits that many of us take for granted. Scientists are discovering that trees are far more sophisticated and valuable as a living resource than we ever imagined.
Tree Planting, Care, & Preservation
A recent study stated that planting trees (and preventing deforestation) is by far the best way to help mitigate climate change. Both new and mature trees require some care and attention. Learn what is required for trees to survive and thrive at all stages of their lives.
Standing Up For Trees

Here are some straightforward ways and resources to make a difference in your neighbourhood, including sample letters to write, how to approach local media and municipal authorities, resources, neighbourhood associations and groups, and handy email addresses for sending letters.
Trees Matter Shareable Graphics
Trees are among the hardest working members of our world community. Every day, 24 hours a day, they provide a huge host of incredible services that they receive little thanks or recognition for. Frances Litman created these graphics to visually show some of the many attributes of trees. Please feel free to share these graphics in support of the trees in your neighbourhood.
