Since 1991, we have helped build new organizations and empower efforts to protect California's North Coast region. Trees Foundation serves the network of our Affiliate groups as well as other efforts and individuals. To qualify as a Trees Affiliate, an organization must be located in the North Coast region of California and undertake forest conservation work. Trees Foundation does not charge fees for affiliation or for the trainings and direct services that we provide. Access to resources and skilled services greatly increases the effectiveness of grassroots work.
Most activists work on shoestring budgets.
Many of the services we provide are otherwise cost-prohibitive and often not readily available in our remote rural region. Trees Foundation brings these resources together in a central location and makes them available to activists and organizations, reducing redundancy and organizational expense. Our key role at Trees Foundation is one of providing much-needed direct service to the grassroots organizations on the North Coast. Outreach materials and organizational displays produced by our design team enable people to effectively present their ideas for care and protection of the North Coast. Trees Foundation's fundraising advice and oversight has led to an expansion of support for acquisition and protection efforts in our region.
