About the Marietta Tree Keepers
The Marietta Tree Keepers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer organization. It plants, preserves and protects trees in and around the City of Marietta.
The mission of the Marietta Tree Keepers is described on its website as follows
“Our main strategy is to educate the public about trees; their selection, planting, watering and maintenance.
“We help them to understand the importance of our abundant great trees, which we are fortunate to have in this 180 year old community.
“Where once these trees were cleared for farming, now they are once again threatened by development and road construction.
“We emphasize the many benefits that trees have for our community such as: reducing air and noise pollution, cooling the air, conserving energy and helping to manage our precious water resources, reducing soil erosion, enhancing wildlife habitat and greenspace, not to mention raising property values.”
