At understory, we are growing opportunities by growing trees. Our program is dedicated to the long term survival of the trees that we plant. We fundamentally believe that the success of a future urban canopy rests in the hands of the residents of the very communities we plant in.

Through our workforce development program, we aim to create a network of community advocates focused on the progression of the neighborhoods that they call home. By providing hands-on paid training and education within the field of urban forest management, participants of our program can hope to gain a better understanding of what it takes to activate their communities towards a common goal.
