Tree Des Moines

Inspiring People to Plant, Nurture, and Celebrate Trees

We are a non-profit organization that educates the community about the need to protect, restore and sustain the urban tree canopy in the Des Moines metropolitan area. In partnership with individuals, private foundations and government entities, we help make our community more viable and livable for all.

Are you passionate about our mission? Do you want to take a tree steward class or help us re-build the urban tree canopy? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to get involved that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!

Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you. In photo, Allison and Danny Akright planting a white oak tree at the Mickle Center last fall.
