Programs: Planting and maintaining trees in the greater tulsa area: all residents and visitors to the tulsa metro area benefit from this program because the thousands of trees planted and maintained by up with trees contribute to a healthier environment and more livable community. This program also increases the citys canopy cover and serves to educate the community about the benefits of preserving and promoting tulsas urban forest.

tree and seedling giveaway: in conjunction with community partners, state and corporate sponsors, this major effort several times a year serves to educate the public about tree conservation, tree care and maintenance while also adding to the total canopy cover in the tulsa metropolitan area.

citizen forester training: this volunteer training and development program combines classroom and field training from tulsas top arborists who volunteer their time and knowledge. After four weeks of classroom and hands-on training (including the art and science of pruning), successful candidates become part of an elite volunteer corps that plants and maintains trees in parks and other locations in the tulsa metro area. Citizen foresters also become enthusiastic advocates of urban forestry awareness and education.
