At Trees Indiana, we are passionate about young people from all walks of life being able to experience that magical "sense of wonder" moment, sparking a special connection to nature. Reconnecting with nature and disconnecting from a constant virtual indoor reality is taking hold around the country.

Growing evidence shows that this disconnect from nature has serious long-term implications for the health and well-being of our children. Founded in 2006, Trees Indiana remains the only organization in Indiana that focuses solely on urban forestry youth education. Our basic tenants are very simple:

- Youth are more likely to become effective advocates for the environment if the outdoors has demonstrated value for them.

- Healthy, working forests are vital for livable communities.

Through both formal and informal methods, Trees Indiana provides effective hands-on programs that use the natural environment as a "window on the world." Our programs build awareness, develop responsibility, and cultivate leadership in urban youth. To date, over 3,500 youth have participated, planting and maintaining nearly 750 trees.
