Tree Planting & Stewardship

Funds will be used to increase the amount of trees preserved and planted in southern Illinois for wildlife, families, and neighborhoods.

Illinois has lost 75% of its forests. This has resulted in declining wildlife, declining air and water quality, and hotter neighborhoods. 

Bringing back forests in towns, parks, and preserves is critical.  We are working to increase and preserve trees throughout southern Illinois, but we need help.

With your help…

Funds will support tree planting, care, and associated programming. 

You’ll be increasing the amount of trees preserved and growing in southern Illinois for families, wildlife, and neighborhoods.

Your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to southern Illinois trees and associated programming. 

Gifts of any amount are welcome, including donations of stock, contributions from an IRA or Donor Advised Fund, or by check.

If you have questions, please contact Mary Vandevord, President & CEO, at (618) 566-4451 ex 20 or email her at ma************@*******************cy.org
