Forest ReLeaf of Missouri

10/18/2026

We're proud to share that Forest ReLeaf recently received the Lewis C. Green Award in recognition of our work to protect our local environment and expand access to a healthy urban tree canopy.

From Treesilience and Priority ReLeaf to CommuniTree, our programs help support trees in communities where they're needed most. This video, created in collaboration with Great Rivers Environmental Law Center tells the story of the people, partnerships, and mission behind this work. Take a look and see why we believe everyone deserves the benefits that trees provide.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Earlier this month, our organization partnered with Better Family Life, Inc. to plant memorial trees in honor of loved ones lost to gun violence in Ivory Perry Park. These 50 trees overlook playgrounds, walking trails, and community spaces and offer families a space to grieve and celebrate their loved one's life.

Special thanks to SSM Health for their support throughout the project- and some excellently dug holes!
