We are thrilled to announce our Chief Tree Officer, Morgan Grubbs, is a part of the Leadership Louisville class of 2027! Through these community connections she will be able to build relationships which support a healthier city and tree canopy.

Join us in giving her a big congrats!

Meet the Leadership Louisville Class of 2027!

We’re proud to welcome 65 leaders from across Greater Louisville who will spend the next 10 months learning together, building relationships across sectors, and gaining a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges shaping our region.

Representing business, government, education, healthcare, nonprofits and more, this class reflects the breadth of leadership, and the power of bringing different perspectives together around a shared commitment to our community.

Congratulations to the Leadership Louisville Class of 2027. We can’t wait to see where this journey takes you and the impact you’ll make along the way.

A special thank you to Humana/CenterWell, presenting sponsor of the Leadership Louisville Class of 2027, for investing in the leaders helping shape our region’s future.

Here at TreesLouisville we love our human volunteers. Thank you for showing up and getting your hands dirty to help grow Louisville’s urban forest!
Volunteer trees on the other hand? Well… not every tree that volunteers is a good one. Some species can become invasive. Even native trees popping up in the wrong spot can become a nuisance. That’s why we believe in Right Tree, Right Place. Choosing the right species for the right spot helps our urban forest thrive!

So keep being the kind of volunteers we love. And if a tree starts volunteering where it shouldn’t… don’t be afraid to pull it out!

TreesLouisville is dedicated to more than just trees, our mission is to create healthier communities in which everyone benefits. This is why we have decided to invest in restoring a historic building in the Shelby Park Neighborhood- The Canopy Center, which will become our new community and operations hub. Similar to our efforts in Smoketown, we will utilize sustainable materials, energy efficient appliances, AND create new tree wells along Clay Street.

Your support will not only help Louisville’s tree canopy grow but you will be investing in the restoration of a historic neighborhood, benefiting generations to come. Join us for Give for Good on September 10th and be a part of the change.

Last planting season TreesLouisville distributed over 1,500 trees for local residents to take home at four different tree adoptions! As a data driven organization we ask for participant feedback to ensure we are delivering quality trees and a quality experience.

We had over 100 people respond and let us know what they took home and why, where they went, AND how are they doing now?? Swipe through to see the results and thank you to everyone who participated

Last week we posted a story asking for your help in naming our Catalpa duo along Logan Street, and the top results are in! We loved seeing everyone’s creativity. 💚🌳 Let us know your favorite in the comments!

For those who missed the story; these two Catalpas are the same species and size, from the same nursery, planted on the same day in the same conditions… and yet they decided to grow in two very different forms! Nature always has a way of being beautifully baffling.
