Founded in 2011, the Urban Tree Alliance is a non-profit organization serving the greater Madison, WI area. Our mission is to preserve and grow the urban forest canopy in a sustainable and innovative manner in partnership with the public.
Most trees are privately owned, but they provide deep and lasting benefits to the community as a whole. Each time a homeowner cares for a tree, they give a gift to us all: shade on a hot summer day, improved air quality, food for wildlife, relief for our stress, an intimate connection with nature, and a myriad other benefits.
The Urban Tree Alliance is committed to providing Madison-area residents with the knowledge, skills and resources they need to grow and maintain a healthy, resilient urban forest. We support homeowners in caring for trees on their property, and we empower groups to tackle community forestry projects.
