TreeUtah

Trees are essential to the health of Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Trees in the mountains help filter rainwater and prevent erosion as snowmelt and rainfall travels through our mountains and into the rivers and creeks that bring water to the Great Salt Lake. Let’s do our part to protect the Great Salt Lake by sustaining a healthy forest and a thriving watershed ecosystem 🌲🏔️🏞️

Yay for more trees!! 🌳 We’re joining forces with @treeutah , this time in our Utah Valley Chapter, to help a park get much needed shade. Here’s what you need to know: • Sign the waiver before you arrive, 🔗 in bio, or comment “PARK” • Wear long pants, close toed shoes and sun protection ☀️ • We will provide tools and safety instructions! FYI, snacks will be provided! So grab a friend and come on over for a fun day of stewarding and ministering

Come plant with us Saturday, May 16th, 9am - noon at the beautiful Roots Disc Golf Course park! We’re excited to add more trees to a pleasant urban space on the west side of SLC! Address is 1250 N Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. When you arrive, look for the green TreeUtah tent and check in! Once everyone’s there, we’ll do a welcome, planting demonstration with arborists, and safety talk. Then we’ll break into groups and get planting! We will bring all the tools, trees, soil amendments, safety equipment, and trained staff to guide you. We ask that you wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. Please bring your own refillable water bottle. TreeUtah will make sure there are plenty of snacks for you at the table and fizzy beverages on hand in the cooler. We will wrap up by or before noon. Please visit our events page (link in bio) to sign up, so that we know to expect you!

In the beginning of April, more than 60 volunteers came and planted with us and @southsaltlake to add more trees to the beautiful outdoor community space of The Historic Scott School! Tree plantings always set such positive and happy feelings in motion. Thank you to the team @fit_2recover for coming to plant with us, and thank you so much to everyone who joined our planting party!!! 💚 #trees #treeutah #treeplanting #volunteerutah #volunteering

In our new blog post we talk to Amy May, executive director of TreeUtah—an educational tree-planting nonprofit—about their secret behind planting an ever-growing amount of trees across the state. They do fantastic work that brings communities together and contributes to a brighter future for the state.

SOUT U + TreeUtah tonight at the Day-Riverside Library EcoGarden! Athletes and Unified Partners learned about the plants around us, explored why trees are such an important part of our ecosystem, tasted fresh herbs… and even planted new grapevines for the pergola! 🍇🌿 A night of learning, growing, and getting our hands in the dirt—in the best way. 🌱🌳 What’s your favorite herb or vegetable to grow in your garden?
