Up With Trees

Thanks to the Apache Foundation’s Tree Grant Program, Tulsa and surrounding area organizations have been able to plant trees on their properties that have not only enhanced their landscapes, but provided shade, cleaned particulates from the air, produced oxygen, harbored birds and other wildlife, reduced noise, store carbon, and prevented soil erosion.

Friends and volunteers of Up With Trees know the countless health benefits trees can give back; just one tree can extract as much as 1 ton of CO₂from the atmosphere.
Help us continue making such programs possible, please consider giving a tax-deductible gift
to Up With Trees.
Any amount is appreciated -- remember, a little goes a long way!
