Trees. Magnificent, majestic & absolutely essential to life & to the splendor of the Baton Rouge area's landscape. In an urban area, they clean & cool the air, buffer sound & wind, offer animal habitats & shade & beautify our environment. Compelling reasons to support Baton Rouge Green. Because today, for every 4 trees destroyed, only one is replaced. Our mission is to lead, educate & inspire our community to conserve, plant & sustain our community' s trees.
A CAUSE YOU CAN ROOT FOR
Since our founding in 1987, Baton Rouge Green has planted over 28,000 trees throughout the greater Baton Rouge area in parks & neighborhoods, on school campuses and along public roadways.
