Walk the Green Carpet

An Evening with Green Columbus is a celebration for tree lovers, community builders, sustainability enthusiasts, and anyone who believes a greener Columbus is possible.

This first-of-its-kind event brings together people who care about trees, neighborhoods, and the future of our city. Come, bring a friend, and get ready to geek out about trees with people who get it.

We're celebrating everything that's been growing while raising $25,000 to plant  more trees. Because if Columbus needs more shade, more beauty, and more green spaces, we might as well have a great time making it happen.

The evening will be emceed by Lachandra Baker, who will guide us through a memorable celebration of community, trees, and the future of Columbus.

Step onto the Green Carpet for a photo, browse a silent auction featuring curated local finds, and experience the excitement of our live tree auction.

Throughout the evening, enjoy mouthwatering Filipino street food from Bonifacio, live acoustic music by Tucker Munz, and our signature green cocktail.

We'll also hear from special speakers and local green heroes who are helping shape the future of Columbus' urban forest.

Columbus has a lot of growing to do. Right now, our tree canopy covers about 22% of the city, and we know that number looks and feels very different depending on the neighborhood. Some streets have shade, birdsong, and tree-lined sidewalks. Others are still waiting for the protection that trees provide.

That's why this night matters. Reserve your ticket, bring a friend, and walk the Green Carpet with us.

Tree hugging encouraged.
