This Giving Tuesday, join with The Morton Arboretum to make a global impact and save trees at home and around the world.
With your support, the Arboretum’s team of scientists are putting their cutting-edge research to work on a global scale to support and protect trees through efforts like the Global Tree Conservation Program.
There is an urgent need to conserve the world’s trees. One third of all tree species are threatened with extinction—that’s more than all of the world’s endangered mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians combined. For more than a century, The Morton Arboretum has been at the forefront of groundbreaking tree science and conservation efforts—and we need your support to continue this critical global tree conservation work.
With your support, the Arboretum is turning cutting-edge research into conservation action at a global scale through efforts like the Global Tree Conservation Program.
The Arboretum’s current collaborations include work with botanic gardens across the United States, Mexico, Central America, Asia, and Europe to ensure the survival and sustainable management of at-risk tree species.
Arboretum scientists and in-country partners are working to conserve threatened tree species, with a focus on the recovery of regional oak species. To date more than 5,000 native trees have been planted in the La Antigua River watershed in Veracruz, Mexico.
The Arboretum continues to lead global oak conservation efforts, including through recently expanded partnerships with the Korea Arboreta and Gardens Institute and institutions across Asia, Mexico, Central America, and Europe.
