Thanks for a Great Year!
Of Making Cities Cleaner, Greener, and Healthier

As this exciting year draws to a close, the Alliance for Community  
Trees would like to thank you for your support. Together, through  
ACT’s National NeighborWoods Program™ and other initiatives, we have  
achieved a great many important milestones in just three years:

*  126,620 shade trees planted
*  42,422 trees maintained
*  61,015 volunteers engaged
*  2,186 events organized
*  $1.6 million awarded to community organizations
*  $11.6 million in locally leveraged contributions

This year was the first full year of the brown-bag lunch webcast  
series, delivering timely and important information on urban forestry  
by industry and nonprofit professionals on a monthly basis. Our  
Community Tree Leadership Forum training program provided critical  
skill building for community forest advocates in Florida and  
California. National NeighborWoods Month grew into a booming campaign  
reaching over 20,000 people through 412 events in 134 cities. At our  
national conferences in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Pasadena, ACT engaged  
more leaders than ever before - providing learning, dialogue, and  
trend spotting to support urban forest stewardship.

Our alliance has grown— 66 members in 2004, 74 members in 2005, 107 in  
2006, 135 members in 2007, and in 2008— 160 member organizations in 40  
states!

As we move into the New Year, we are meeting challenges we know you  
face too— raising awareness and funds in an uncertain economy. We hope  
you will think about what Alliance for Community Trees has meant to  
you professionally or personally and consider an end of year donation  
to help ACT support urban forest stewardship in  2009.

Thank you so much for your support. Here’s to a prosperous and healthy  
New Year for our nation’s urban forests and the stewards that care for  
them.
