What is the Tour des Trees?

The Tour des Trees is a weeklong, 400-mile (645+ km) cycling tour. Our goals are:

To fund research focused on improving the health of urban trees
To fund education programs that connect young people with the environment
To raise awareness of the importance of trees to the quality of urban life
To teach communities the value of science-based professional tree care
To teach young people how trees grow, why people need trees and how they can help care for the trees in their lives

27th Anniversary Ride through
Tennessee and Kentucky
Sept 15 - 21, 2019

Who Are The Tour des Trees Riders?

Some of our riders are arborists or work in the tree industry. Others are people in other professions who are passionate about trees and their care. Every full-Tour participant commits to raising a minimum of $3,500 for TREE Fund in addition to cycling 400+ miles in a week, rain or shine. After a long day on the road, riders participate in other activities including tree plantings and educational events in the towns they ride through. Why do they do it? Participants enjoy the challenge, the mission and the camaraderie. Their legacy is a promise of strong, healthy urban trees for generations to come. Come and join us! To join the Canadian team, email hoselton@rogers.com. The ride takes place in a different location every year.

Who are TREE Fund Partners and Business Donors?
