Our Impact

Each year, the Cleveland Tree Coalition strives to fund neighborhood planting projects, support tree giveaways, and advocate for policy, systems, and environmental change. The graphic below shows our impact, from the creation of the Cleveland Tree Plan in 2015, to the hiring of an inaugural director in 2022, to today.
