Green Columbus is a sustainability-focused nonprofit striving to activate volunteer engagement, grow equitable tree canopy coverage, and foster resilient communities. 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 Linden, Hilltop, South Side, and our many community partners.

Green Columbus is increasing tree coverage for all Columbus communities.
