Credentials
Our Mission
When a hurricane, wildfire, ice storm, or drought devastates a community's trees, the path to recovery can feel overwhelming. Tree Revival exists to make that path clear. We provide species-specific recovery guides authored by certified arborists, connect communities with verified tree care professionals, aggregate funding opportunities, and track canopy restoration progress over time.
Trees are critical infrastructure. They reduce energy costs, manage stormwater, improve air quality, support biodiversity, and strengthen community well-being. When disaster strikes, every tree saved and every tree planted accelerates recovery for the entire community.
Our Values
Science-Based Recovery
Every recovery guide is authored by ISA Certified Arborists and grounded in arboricultural science. We partner with university extension programs and tree care professionals.
Community-First
Trees belong to communities. We prioritize equitable access to recovery resources and focus on underserved neighborhoods that need help most.
