Team members frequently collaborate, sharing insights and resources to problem-solve and adapt to changing conditions.

What is a Tree Trust and what do they do?

A Tree Trust is typically a nonprofit organization focused on preserving, planting, and maintaining trees in urban and community environments. Their work often involves urban forestry, environmental education, and workforce development programs related to tree care and landscaping.
