Alliance for Community Trees
Alliance for Community Trees (ACT) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and livability of cities by planting and caring for trees. With 160 grassroots affiliates in 40 states and Canada, ACT engages volunteers to take action to improve the environment where 80% of people live - in urban areas. ACT member organizations have planted and cared for 14.9 million trees in cities with help from 4.3 million volunteers.
Project Learning Tree
Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an award-winning environmental education program designed for educators working with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. PLT uses trees and the forest as a “window” to the natural world, helping students learn about the world around them, their place within that world, and their responsibility for it.
Learning Landscapes
Learning Landscapes transforms schoolyards at Denver Public Schools into aesthetic and fun multi-use parks designed to reflect the cultural heritage of the surrounding community. Working with University of Colorado, Denver Landscape Architecture graduate students and community members to create master plans and designs, the graduate students get meaningful, hands-on experience in their field, while the community gets a landmark to be proud of. With each learning landscape built elementary students participate in planting shrubs and trees to help establish a connection with nature and a sense of ownership of their new playground.
