Special Note for Teachers:

We love working with schools and teachers. If you would like to bring learning, nature exploration, and nature-inspired creativity into your classroom, we would love to talk more. Currently, we are able to provide: 


  • a presentation to your class about trees, ecology, and careers in the environment
  • trees for students to grow at home or in the classroom
  • A series of design thinking class discussions about creating greener landscapes at school
  • Trees to plant at your schools (and help figuring out how to plant at your school)

Contact our parent organization, The Tacoma Tree Foundation for more information!
