What is a Friendship Forest?
Friendship Forest is about caring for our city, caring for each other and breaking down barriers by uniting residents in the act of growing happiness. With each forest we connect people with a planting partner and their newly-adopted tree in hopes of establishing new friendships. The Friendship Forest unites artist, arborist, scientist and the community to grow at least the next 150 years of our city.

GET TOGETHER

At our planting parties, we gather neighborhoods together to plant a tree, make a new friend and celebrate the urban canopy. Everyone is invited to help grow their Friendship Forest!

PLANT A TREE

Become a friendship forester! No worries if you have never planted a tree before or if you are shy. We will have a group of people ready to connect you with your forest friend and teach you all about trees! Just show up ready to playfully plant.

BE FRIENDS

Planting your tree is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Just like all friendships, this relationship will involve some care, play, and joy. You will receive email reminders and updates from your tree about how it is growing, possible playdates and reminders for nourishment. Remember you can never hug a tree too much.
