Re-Tree WNY

Meet the member organizations of the Western New York Environmental Alliance!

Organization Name: Re-Tree WNY

Mission: Our mission is the same as our name, Re-Tree WNY. We are working on this project with the goal to replace the approximately 30,000 trees in Western New York that were damaged or destroyed in the October 12-13, 2006 snowstorm. We are also starting a citizen stewardship program wherein volunteers will be taking care of the juvenile trees we’ve planted since 2007.

Vision: Re-forest every public area that was destroyed by the snowstorm and steward the trees that we have planted since the storm.

Key Achievements:

Re-Tree has planted 26,565 street and park trees since it started nearly eight years ago, getting the funds through individual donations, corporations, and foundations.
174 trees were planted with five different organizations on Saturday, April 26, 2014.
