The Newport Tree Conservancy needs your support. We cannot plant and care for our shared forest without you. Please consider a contribution to the Newport Tree Conservancy and join us in our mission to plant for the future.

Friends, it’s that time of year again, where we must join the chorus of worthy and important organizations asking for your financial support. Newport would not be the same without its trees or supporters like you.

Over this past year, NTC’s youth programs have engaged 521 students and 69 teachers and youth leaders. Youth program partners in 2022 have included Pell Elementary, Thompson Middle School, Rogers High School, East Bay Met School, Newport Boys & Girls Club, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, and Salve Regina University. Youth activities included school day, after school, and summer programming, along with volunteer opportunities. NTC’s Program Director, Rachel Holbert, designed and implemented 65 total hours of youth programming.

NTC programs encourage students to get outside and connect with their urban forest in hands-on, experiential ways. Miantonomi Park and Ballard Park were favorite spots for youth programming this year, in addition to the trees and green spaces around schools and community centers. Programs will continue through the winter and into 2023!

In the season of giving and holding these ideals close, consider gifting something unique: a donation to the Newport Tree Conservancy in honor of someone dear. Donations help support various initiatives including youth education and public programs, adding to our community's urban canopy, preserving historic trees, and more!
