Mix a great success! Neighborhood Mixer great way to share the message!

 One of our supporters and fellow earth-lover, tree planter, and homeowner, Mr. Mix (that is his real name), hosted a neighborhood mixer for all this neighbors.  Wine and snacks and a great presentation got lots of his fellow homeowners interested in planting more trees around their neighborhood.  We had a tree identification outside, just before the wind got really bad - it was a lovely time.  

We would like to share our goals and plan with our suggested tree list and free services to assist homeowners, business owners, city and school grounds to select and plant proper trees - how can you help?? Call us today! (775) 235- Tree.

Gianna Shirk - Carson City resident and current Vice Chairperson of the Carson City Shade Tree Council

A special thank you to Susan - a NEW Carson City resident from California, fellow tree lover and mother to Gianna, she kept the food and wine flowing.
Thank you to our host - Mr. Mix!  Carson City is lucky to have you instead of Hawaii.

We are...

The Friends of the Urban Forest of Carson City are part of a quantative tree planting going on across the country. Other cities are doing the same thing – by comparison – Las Vegas is doing a 2,000,000 Tree Planting initiative.  Our plan for Carson City is an educated goal of 10,000 in 5 years through long term planning and hard work by our volunteers.

We have a plan and a presentation to educate and inform our community about the process and how to help.  Now seeking organizations and private citizens for promotions, tree purchase rebates, and to participate in upcoming tree plating projects.  If you want tree advice on how to plant a tree, remove a tree, and be included in our 10,000 tree goal – please contact us today.
