Trees Indiana engages youth to become environmental stewards.

10/07/2026

For those who are new around here, allow us to reintroduce ourselves! 👋🌳

At Trees Indiana, we believe every young person deserves the chance to experience the transformative sense of wonder that comes from connecting with nature.

In a world where screens and indoor spaces often dominate daily life, the growing disconnect from the outdoors poses real risks to the health and well-being of our kids. We’re here to change that!

Since 2006, Trees Indiana has been dedicated to helping youth rediscover the beauty, science, and significance of the trees around them. As the leading organization in the state focused exclusively on youth urban forestry education, we’re cultivating the next generation of environmental stewards. 🪵✨

Whether you’ve been following our journey for years or just joined our community, we’re so glad you’re here.

Johnny Appleseed walked so we could run... straight to our nearest national park! 🍏🌲

Today marks Johnny Appleseed Day AND National Public Lands Day: the best duo for nature lovers.

John Chapman spent his life planting seeds, tending orchards, and caring for the Midwest landscape. Today, we get to honor that legacy by protecting, preserving, and enjoying the public green spaces we all share.

How are you giving back to the outdoors today?

As urban areas expand, local wildlife continuously adapts to life alongside concrete, cars, and skyscrapers. But thriving urban ecosystems need intentional green spaces.

Planting native trees and expanding city canopies helps bridge the gap, providing critical shelter, food, and safe corridors for urban wildlife. 🐦‍⬛

Spotting early fall colors in Indiana? 🍂🍁

By late September, the very first hints of autumn start popping up across Northern and Central Indiana, especially on species like Sassafras, Sumac, and early Maples.

Before the full canopy turns, we want to see what’s happening in your neck of the woods!

Did you know that planting too deep is the #1 cause of young tree failure?

Burying the root flare under too much soil effectively suffocates your new tree, leading to slow growth, weak roots, and early failure. Luckily, there’s an easy trick to make sure you get the depth right every single time.

The Shovel Test:

1. Place your tree in the hole.
2. Lay your shovel handle flat across the top of the hole.
3. Check the root flare (where the trunk widens at the base).
4. If the root flare sits below the handle: The hole is too deep! Lift the tree and add soil underneath before planting.

Give your trees the best start possible this season! 🌳✨
