Rhode Island Tree Council

About us

RITree is a non-profit, tax-exempt group dedicated to improving Rhode Island’s tree resources.

We implement programs and activities that educate the public on the benefits and values of trees. A networking and educational organization, we partner with other environmental groups, the RIDEM-Division of Forest Environment, and the United States Forest Service to help meet this environmental challenge.

We’re composed of members, professional consultants, and volunteers. Our financial support comes from various sources, including memberships, private donations, and grants from the U.S. Forest Service, provided through the RIDEM’s Division of Forest Environment. Volunteers effectively administer RITree, serving as Trustees and on its Board of Directors and Advisors. Membership is open to all and anyone can join.
