For 35 years, TREES Inc. has united neighbors and volunteers to grow a thriving tree canopy. But storm damage, drought, and age mean our community is losing trees faster than we can plant them.
In 2025, TREES Inc. planted and distributed nearly 1600 trees in Terre Haute/Vigo County tree canopy. With your generous support, we are confident that we can exceed that number in 2026. Our work is never done. Every dollar you give goes to planting trees and distributing saplings.

Why we plant trees
IIn 1990, concerned about the decline of Terre Haute’s urban forest, local citizens founded TREES Inc. In the decades since, our community has continued to lose trees to age, disease, storms, and climate change—but thanks to TREES Inc., thousands of new trees have been planted along streets, in parks, and throughout neighborhoods.
Why do trees matter? Trees add to the quality of life, quality of place and overall quality of community in numerous ways:
Beautification & Well-Being - Trees make our city more attractive, reduce stress, and create welcoming green spaces.
Cleaner Air & Climate Benefits - Trees absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, cool our neighborhoods, and improve public health.
Soil & Habitat Protection - Trees prevent erosion, reduce runoff, and support birds, pollinators, and wildlife.
Natural Buffers - Trees provide shade, privacy, and noise reduction—making neighborhoods more livable.
Economic Value - Healthy tree canopies increase property values, attract visitors and homeowners, and enhance local business districts.
