STRONGER COMMUNITIES THROUGH HEALTHY TREES

Heartland Tree Alliance brings communities together to plant and care for Kansas City’s urban trees.

A tree provides shade, a quiet place to sit and dream, and habitat for wildlife. It cleans our air, captures rainwater, reduces stress, and with each new one planted, creates hope for a resilient region. In fact, trees are one of the most cost-effective solutions to climate change.
