What are “Treetures®”?
“Treetures®” are a community of characters dedicated to carrying the message of tree planting and care to children. "Steward" is the mascot and carries the flag for urban forests. He teaches about protecting the trees that grow on streets in towns and cities. Every tree that grows on a street needs a “Steward” to keep it strong and healthy. Download a Steward coloring page to use in your classroom or community activity.
ACTrees works with Treetures® to:
- Promote volunteerism and increase public awareness of the value of engaging youth in urban and community forestry.
- Support engagement and collaboration among diverse urban forest constituents.
- Attract diverse age audiences and youth to plant and maintain community trees.
