Welcome to the new website!
Take Root is proud to launch our most recent tool for promoting community engagement and sustainable living in Chattanooga: a newly renovated takerootchattanooga.com.
We’re practitioners of the “dig in” style of civic engagement—we’ve planted over 600 trees in Chattanooga that testify to that. But we also believe that civic engagement is for everyone. This site expands our ability to work directly with Chattanooga’s neighborhoods, and get people excited about the work that gives us joy.
On this site, you’ll find ways to donate directly to Take Root, but you can also pledge your time towards our projects and plantings. If you live in the Take Root zone, check out our list of tree profiles to see what trees we’ll be planting in your neighborhood. You can also give directly to a neighborhood by visiting our donation page.
In one year, we’ve enjoyed digging around in the mud, planting trees for Chattanooga’s bright, green future. We’ve brought our friends and neighbors together to commit to our city, and now we ask you: plant trees with us.
