About
Forest ReLeaf of Missouri is a St. Louis nonprofit founded in 1993 whose mission is to enrich communities by growing and planting trees. It operates a community-assisted tree nursery in Creve Coeur Park and provides trees to public and nonprofit land statewide through Project CommuniTree and Priority ReLeaf, while its ReLeaf St. Louis, Treesilience, and City Tree Farm programs plant and steward street and park trees in low-canopy neighborhoods. The organization also collects seed for the state nursery and runs volunteer and education programs.
