Goals
The goals of the Tree Foundation are to disseminate the importance of community forestry activities to a broad range of participants, strengthen relationships between the private and public sector of forestry experts, promote volunteerism, and expand urban, suburban and rural forestry activities through innovative programs and projects.

Partnerships
The New Jersey Tree Foundation is part of a unique three party agreement between the New Jersey Forest Service and the New Jersey Community Forestry Council. Foundation trustees and Council members, in conjunction with the State Forester, formed this partnership in order to support collaborative efforts to nurture, sustain and provide stewardship for New Jersey community forestry activities. Additionally, the Tree Foundation partners with a wide variety of groups and organizations across the state for tree planting activities and educational events.
