Green Columbus is a sustainability-focused nonprofit striving to activate volunteer engagement, grow equitable tree canopy coverage, and foster resilient communities.
Seeking to improve equitable environmental outcomes for the people of Central Ohio.
Increasing equitable tree coverage to all Columbus communities.
Green Columbus maintains two tree nurseries. Throughout the year we host volunteer activities to plant, care for, and distribute trees at no cost to residents of the community. In the fall, we distribute trees from our Linden Nursery, our Hilltop nursery, and our many community partners.
Hundreds of Earth Day Worksites
Each April, Green Columbus coordinates hundreds of volunteer worksites. These events bring thousands of volunteers together to remove litter, plant trees, and so much more. Learn how you can volunteer to lead or join an Earth Day

“"Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish.”
