The Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund is shaping the future of trees and the arboriculture profession.

The TREE Fund provides research grants, scholarships and educational programs to advance knowledge in the field of arboriculture and urban forestry. With this knowledge, arborists and citizens will be better equipped to ensure that healthy, mature trees remain an integral part of the urban and suburban communities of our future.

Professional tree care, based on science, enhances the beauty, safety and liveability of our communities, and helps to protect the people who work in trees. Whether you’re a student, a grant-seeker, a practicing arborist, a potential donor or corporate sponsor -- the TREE Fund invites you to join us in shaping the future of trees and the arboriculture profession.
