Celebrate trees and learn more about how you can support our urban forest during Tree Week 2023!
Now more than ever, it is imperative that we look to our tree canopy as a source of strength and relief in the face of a changing climate. Trees in our community help to offset the negative effects of climate change. They reduce storm-water runoff, cool our city and neighborhoods, filter air and water pollutants, store carbon dioxide, and help improve mental health and wellbeing. Learning to properly care for a tree, planting new trees, and even learning to name trees are all things that we can do to support the trees where we live.
Georgetown Tree Week began in 2021 to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the important roles nature and trees have in improving our environment and quality of life. Georgetown Tree Week has continued each year to inform others and uphold the value of trees in our lives through a series of nature and tree-themed events. Find an event or class that is meant for you by clicking on the interactive schedule!
