Since Hurricane Katrina, NOLA Tree Project has been focused on both long-term recovery and ecological resilience, restoring New Orleans’ tree canopy with over 86,000 trees planted.
Through its free tree giveaways and its volunteer-driven plantings, NOLA Tree Project has transformed 36 neighborhoods across New Orleans. These efforts filter stormwater and reduce neighborhood flooding, absorb carbon and improve air quality, and reinforce our defenses against hurricanes and erosion.
NOLA Tree Project is calling on residents, volunteers and businesses to help reach their 100,000-tree goal.
