How deep are your Tacoma roots? 

They might be deep, spread far and wide, like the roots of the mighty Western redcedars that shade our homes. Or, they might be young yet purposeful like those of a Pacific dogwood sapling, which one day, will brighten the sidewalks in spring.

Whether we’re old-timers or newcomers, we’ve all chosen to take root in Tacoma. 

We at the Tacoma Tree Foundation are taking root here because the city’s diverse communities are standing up to grow green and healthy neighborhoods. Residents are showing up, smiling, on a weekend morning in the pouring rain to plant trees for their neighbors or to walk together and learn about the wonders of trees. They’re speaking up to make sure trees have protections, so everyone can breath clean air and commute in cool streets. We want to sustain this movement and make sure Tacoma is tree-lined for generations to come! 

This spring, help us raise $100,000 by attending our culminating social event, sponsoring our fundraiser, or making a gift. Let’s continue supporting Tacoma’s communities and trees, and together, take root amidst the pressures of climate change and rapid development.
