OUR MISSION

Friends of Mobile Trees preserves, promotes and celebrates our world class trees.

 

The City and County of Mobile 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. Yet, Mobile is losing about one tree every day on the public right of way from storms, urban development and neglect.

 

We are losing many more trees on private property. While far fewer trees are being planted, it takes decades for species like live oaks and magnolias to grow to full potential. That's why Friends of Mobile Trees is here.

 

As an IRS-approved 501c3 Corporation, we can receive public and private grants and tax-deductible contributions from businesses and individuals to restore our urban forest. An initial $10,000 matching fund is in place to encourage your donations. Our goal is two-fold: provide funds for Mobile's arborists to nurture our existing trees and replace trees we are losing with species appropriate to their locations. Your tax-deductible contribution can help Mobile flourish.
