About Saluting Branches

Founded in 2015 by arborists at Rainbow Treecare in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Saluting Branches grew from a local cemetery service project into a national nonprofit that mobilizes tree care professionals and volunteers to maintain veteran‑dedicated properties. Each year the organization coordinates a National Day of Service and year‑round volunteer committees to deliver pruning, planting, hazard tree removal, and landscape maintenance at national cemeteries, VA hospitals/clinics, nursing homes, monuments, and other veteran sites across the United States and territories.

Notable achievements

$4.6M in Donated Services (2024)

In 2024 the Day of Service engaged over 4,000 volunteers and delivered an estimated $4.6 million in donated tree and landscape services to veteran‑dedicated properties.

National Expansion to ~100 Sites

Saluting Branches expanded from a single local project to nearly 100 service locations across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Mexico, increasing national reach and volunteer participation (2024–2025).

Established Industry Day of Service

Founded by practicing arborists, the organization institutionalized an annual industry‑wide Day of Service and organized year‑round committees for sponsorship, outreach, coordination, planting, and safety.
