Healthier Communities Through Healthy Trees



Protecting our Region’s Valuable Resource –
the Community Forest


What is the “community forest,” anyway? Don’t we usually think of a forest as a large stand of trees, somewhere far away?

The community forest is all around us. It’s made up of the trees in our yards, in our parks, along our streets, surrounding our public buildings, shading our parking lots, and growing along our streams.

Heartland Tree Alliance is your resource in the Kansas City region for information about trees, and ways to take action on behalf of our community trees. On these pages you’ll find all you need to get started, as well as links to some of the dozens of other sites about urban and community forestry that are also full of great information.

Our mission is to engage people of the greater Kansas City region to take action and advocate for a healthy community forest.

Heartland Tree Alliance is the winner of the 2008 Missouri Arbor Award of Excellence.
