For 40 years, Up With Trees has beautified Tulsa one tree at a time.

Up With Trees, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1976 with a mission to beautify greater Tulsa by planting trees and to create urban forestry awareness through education. With the generous support of donors and volunteers, they plant along streets and trails, at parks, schools, fire stations, neighborhoods, and many other public properties. Up With Trees is dedicated to planting, preserving and promoting Tulsa’s urban forest.
 
In the last four decades, Up With Trees has planted more than 30,000 trees at more than 700 sites throughout Tulsa. In addition to planting, they also maintain over 10,000 trees throughout greater Tulsa, guaranteeing that trees are properly pruned, watered, and replaced if severely damaged, to ensure the success of the trees.
 
Education is a key component of Up With Trees as they work to educate the public on the importance of growing Tulsa’s urban forest. Their primary adult education program, Citizen Foresters, trains dozens of citizens each year about proper tree care and their value as an asset to Tulsa. Up With Trees’ youth education program, Tree School, utilizes trees as a cross-curricular learning tool and teaches the importance of trees at an early age. These along with other planting and education programs encourage the community to take an active role in improving the beauty and health of the Tulsa community.
