PHS Tree Tenders® brings colleges and universities and their neighboring communities together to plant and care for trees. Funded by the USDA Forest Service, PHS Tree Tenders® develops partnerships between campus communities and local residents to plant, study, and care for community trees along streets, in parks, and in public spaces.
PHS Tree Tenders® connects universities and communities in positive and powerful ways. Students gain skills and experience working in communities. Institutions and communities benefit as students and residents work side-by-side to both improve the urban tree canopy and revitalize the area.
