Friends of Mobile Trees preserves, promotes and celebrates our world class trees.
NOW is the time to PLANT for the future, so Mobile will continue to FLOURISH
The City and County of Mobile, Alabama are blessed with some of the world’s most beautiful trees. They clean the air we breathe, shade us from harmful sun rays, cool us in hot weather and enhance our lives in many other ways. They also attract tourists to grow our economy.
Friends of Mobile Trees is dedicated to preserving and restoring our urban forest, inviting community participation and partnerships. As a 501c3 Corporation, all contributions and donations to our efforts are tax deductible.

TREE of the MONTH
September
2024
The Palmettos on
Royal Street
Celebrating the legacy of Jimmy Buffet this month brings to mind the palm tree and the spirit of the islands.
But many of the palm trees we enjoy today were planted to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914.
Realizing great potential for the port, a campaign was underway to imagine Mobile as the "Gateway to Panama."
