Who We Are
Trees SC was founded in 1991 as a non-profit organization to foster the stewardship of South Carolina’s urban and community forests through education, advocacy and networking.
Urban and community forests include all the trees in your community: tree-lined roads, parks, neighborhoods, and commercial building sites. Taking care of the trees in these areas benefits the environmental, social and economic well-being of your community.

Events
Professional Training & Networking
Trees SC offers several educational programs throughout the year geared towards professionals and citizens interested in growing, protecting, and preserving our state’s urban and community forests.
