TreePAC is making change happen
“Are you tired of pleading, asking, arguing and proving that trees have public value? Join TreePAC and make change happen. Together we will be a lobby as powerful as the sports lobby.” Cass Turnbull, TreePAC founder.
Together we can save more trees
MISSION STATEMENT – The TreePAC mission is to influence citizens, government and businesses to preserve, protect and increase trees and the urban forest.
SELF- EVIDENT TRUTH: The Urban Forest is essential.
- Trees save money through their green infrastructure services. They reduce stormwater run off, mudslides, urban flooding, soil erosion, and reduce energy costs by moderating the local climate.
- Trees are good for the environment: they increase bio-diversity, protect habitat, pollinators, and wildlife. They provide for a cleaner Puget Sound, and they mitigate the causes and effects of global climate change.
- Trees improve community and health—they create walkable/bike-able streets, stewardship and recreational opportunities; reduce noise pollution; improve property values and community pride. Trees provide beauty and solace for all.
TreePAC supports and contributes to candidates who care about our trees, lobbies policymakers, and raises awareness of the importance of trees and our urban forest for healthy, livable cities. We do so by attending meetings and hearings, providing a bi-monthly newsletter on current issues and news, sending emails, holding press conferences and media events, even sometimes protesting, but always working to preserve, protect and enhance our trees and our urban forests. Always we will fight for better laws, funding, and enforcement for protecting our natural environment and keeping our cities livable for all.
