Natural History Wanderings

National NeighborWoods® Month is Alliance for Community Trees’ annual campaign to plant and care for community trees during the month of October. Each year, tens of thousands of volunteers take action to make their communities greener and healthier by planting trees—turning their neighborhoods into vibrant, livable NeighborWoods®. Over the last decade, more than 170,000 volunteers have planted over 300,000 trees in all 50 states during National NeighborWoods® Month, and this 10th year will be the largest celebration yet!

Alliance for Community Trees (ACTrees) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and livability of cities by planting and caring for trees. ACTrees engages volunteers to take action to improve the environment where over 90% of people live and work: in cities, towns, and metropolitan areas. Together ACTrees member organizations have planted and cared for over 15 million trees in cities with help from over 5 million volunteers.
