Tree Week

Tree Week

Tree Week is BACK October 11-20, 2024!

Tree Week is a celebration of trees and all the ways they affect our lives! Events and programs include community tree plantings, tree walks, tours and hikes, educational programs for youth and adults, art, poetry, music events, outdoor yoga, community workshops and seminars, and much more.

The Urban Forest Initiative helps communities across Kentucky interested in organizing their own Tree Week through guidance, examples of activities to be hosted, and promotion. We can help your community brainstorm ideas, share with other communities, and launch your first Tree Week!
