Welcome to Regreen Springfield!

Through our tree advocacy efforts, ReGreen Springfield has collaborated with businesses, community organizations, educational partners and government agencies to promote the reforestation of Springfield, improve growing conditions for trees and engage new allies in tree care and monitoring, education and citizen science.  We realize that the strength of our city is found in the neighborhoods. With this as the foundation for our work, we have embarked on an effort to ‘regreen’ the city… one tree at at time.

Please join Regreen Springfield in this reforestation effort by planting a tree in your own yard, helping to plant trees along our streets and in our parks, or donate your time or funds to neighborhood regreening efforts. With your help, Springfield’s urban forest will be restored.

Introducing “Tree Talk: City Edition” – Your Guide to Greener, More Resilient Communities

Posted on by

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of “Tree Talk: City Edition“, a brand-new podcast series dedicated to helping you make your home, neighborhood, and city more sustainable, greener, and climate-resilient—one tree (or plant) at a time.

Urban environments can be tough on trees and plants, but with the right know-how and a little effort, we can all contribute to a healthier, more vibrant urban forest. Tree Talk: City Edition offers practical advice and easy-to-follow tips for everyday residents who want to do their part. From choosing the right species to planting, watering, and long-term care, we’ll walk you through the essentials of keeping greenery thriving in the city.

Each episode brings you straight talk from experts in landscaping, environmental design, arboriculture, and sustainability. Whether you’re a first-time planter or a seasoned green thumb, you’ll find helpful insights, inspiration, and resources to take your urban greening efforts to the next level.

Why tune in?
Because your small actions can make a big impact. When we plant and care for trees and plants the right way, we improve air quality, reduce heat, support wildlife, and beautify our neighborhoods. And hey—who doesn’t want a little more shade on a hot summer day?

So why not listen for yourself? You might just pick up a few tips—and grow something great.
