Trees Forever is working hard to support our communities while keeping physical distance as we weather this pandemic. Even during these hard times, together we are on a mission to plant and care for trees and the environment by empowering people, building community and promoting stewardship.
Stay engaged from home by checking out our webinars, kids activities and videos.
Currently all of our in-person workshops and programs are postponed or will be online. Our Marion office is closed to visitors for the time-being. Please call or email if you need assistance or have questions.
When activities resume again will depend on many factors, including the regional impact of COVID-19. With a large geographic reach, our staff is constantly evaluating the regions we serve, as well as if an activity or service can be provided in a different way, such as a planting with more physical distance between participants or a workshop that could be a webinar, etc.
Trees build community and help us connect to the places where we live, work and play. In light of COVID-19 and the impact it has had on all of us, Trees Forever is dedicated to supporting our communities and continuing to make connections through tree plantings. Together we are on a mission to plant and care for trees and the environment by empowering people, building community and promoting stewardship.
Those who are sick, showing any symptoms, or have been in direct contact with someone infected are asked to refrain from participating at in person meetings or plantings. In some cases, a video conference may be available.
We encourage proper distancing protocols to be put in place (6 feet between people) and discourage handshaking, high fives, and other closer interactions.
