Donations Sought For New Trees In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — The West Hartford Tree Project 2026 crowdfunding campaign is officially live, and donors are being sought to help the effort add to the town's tree stocks.

According to the project, West Hartford lost 20 percent of its tree canopy from 2010 to 2023.

"We're fighting back by planting 1,000-plus native trees every year," wrote project activists in an announcement this week.

Currently, the effort aims to raise $6,000 for trees in 2026, and every dollar will be matched by Sustainable CT, officials said.

"This means your donation goes twice as far," wrote tree project officials.

Because the organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, donations are also tax-deductible.
