Non-profits play an important role in the Treesilience initiative. TNC state chapters partner with local non-profits to build connections within the communities and identify collaborative conservation strategies. TNC also leverages local accountability partners, individuals, or organizations that have strong community-based values that ensure the initiative aligns with environmental justice-based principles.
