From backyards to tropical rain forests, trees around the world provide life’s necessities.
Trees clean our air and filter water, provide habitat for wildlife, connect communities, and support our health and well-being.
Abbeville Garden Club and Keep Abbeville Beautiful are working together, planting trees throughout our community to provide a safer local environment. Selecting the right location, locally sourcing native trees and using proper planting methods is key to a successful planting.
