The Tree Ambassador program empowers residents to become stewards of the urban forest and serve as resources for their local community. The program is a project of the Green Seattle Partnership, a collaboration between the City of Seattle and the Cascade Land Conservancy and is funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry program.
