We’ve been planting trees in Illinois and working with Illinois landowners since 2001, and in 2020, we are celebrating planting our 1 Millionth tree!
Help us tell lawmakers about the importance of our woodlands and the work we do! Trees Forever is expanding planting efforts in Illinois and focusing on improving community forests--including areas recovering from natural disasters.
