Tree Canopy Committee
Dilworth's tree canopy is aging and we are losing a great number of mature shade trees. Join us in our mission to preserve, protect, and plant trees in Dilworth. If you would like to get involved with this group, email Liz at express@dilworthonline.org
Each year, for the past 3 years, we have organized a fundraiser to Share the Shade with the objective of planting more trees in Dilworth and giving a portion of the money raised in the campaigns to a nearby neighborhood with fewer funding resources to help with their tree canopy. To date we have added almost 100 trees to the Dilworth streets and have given money to the Revolution Park neighborhood to help with their top priority of tree maintenance.
We welcome donations for our Share the Shade campaign throughout the year.

Our Vision
Our vision is to educate neighbors about how to keep trees healthy and safe, and to see the old and sickly trees replaced and encourage the planting of appropriate new trees so that future Dilworth generations will enjoy the benefits and beauty of a healthy and vibrant tree canopy.
