Overview

Mission

Volunteer urban forestry programs for public agencies, educational programs for schools.

What it reported doing in 2025

Serve as technical advisor and resource provider to Your Children's Trees at UCSB, an all student operated and officially recognized campus organization dedicated to restoration of natural areas on campus with the growing, planting and caring of native trees. Students serve as trainers during volunteer planting events, and during educational events at local elementary schools. We use 10 different interactive exhibits to interest students in the fields of math and science. During our weekly and sometimes biweekly events, we planted 170 trees with 1243 participants providing for 3705 service hours and caring for 1016 trees. We also conducted 10 science night events working with approximately 1750 students, parents and staff.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
