Colorado Tree Coalition - Membership

November 9, 2011

Dear CTC members:

Thank you for your support over the past year! Your membership with the Colorado Tree Coalition is due for renewal at the end of this year.

Only with the support of valued members like you can The Colorado Tree Coalition (CTC) continue to improve community forests across Colorado. Since 1991 the Colorado Tree Coalition has awarded 435 grants totaling nearly $657,000. These grants have been matched with over $7.5 million in community money and/or time. As a result of these grants over 67,600 trees have been planted throughout the state. As a CTC member, you are a vital link and deserve much of the credit. Your contribution is greatly appreciated, and we hope that you will reinstate your membership.

Your membership and financial support made possible many projects this year including:

• A Community Education Program thatcontinues to make great strides with getting the word out on proper tree selection, planting and management topics. Conferences and workshops sponsored by the CTC include the Greeley Tree Care Workshop, the Eastern Colorado Community Forestry Conference and the Western Colorado Community Forestry Conference.

• A community grants and reforestation program where nearly $33,000 was distributed to 11 organizations this year for projects ranging from tree planting, to maintenance, to media production. Along with matching funds provided by the grant recipients, this helped plant 649 trees in Colorado communities.

• In its ninth year, Trees Across Colorado helps communities involve volunteers in tree planting. This year, over 1,600 trees were provided to 19 groups and communities across Colorado. Participating in the program also gives communities the opportunity to reach out to their residents with information about good tree species selection and proper tree planting and maintenance practices.

All this work - and much more - is made possible by membership gifts like yours and I hope we can count on you to reinstate today. It’s easy. Just go to www.coloradotrees.org to renew online. Costs and benefits of a one-year membership are:

Your willingness to remain a member of the Colorado Tree Coalition is vital and appreciated!

Thank you,

Scott Grimes
President
