CMGT’s Tree Equity Program (TEP) is the continuation and expansion of our 2023-2025 Tree Ambassador Program (TAP).

We continue the TAP’s goal to equitably expanding tree canopy with more activities to include education, tree planting, and maintenance. We expand the planting areas from the City of Chicago to the south and north suburbs of Chicago.

The TEP is supported with a grant from Justice Outside. Click HERE for a report from 2025 Justice Outside’s Unite and Ignite Conference.
