The Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund) is pleased to again welcome STIHL Inc. as title sponsor of the 2010 Tour des Trees. The Tour des Trees has become the signature fundraising event of the TREE Fund, and America’s largest fundraising event for tree research and education.

The 2010 STIHL Tour des Trees will launch from Chicago's beautiful Millennium Park on July 18 and travel westward to the Mississippi River and Iowa before looping back toward the Chicago area. The 2010 Tour concludes with a 30-mile "Ride for Research" through Chicago's western suburbs and a grand entrance into the Morton Arboretum during the International Society of Arboriculture’s International Tree Climbing Championship on July 24.
