| The Tour des Trees is the TREE Fund's signature event. Not only is it an event where funds are raised for vital research, it is also a public awareness event that spreads the word of the need for research to keep our urban trees and forests healthy. Each participant is asked to commit to raising a minimum of $3,500 for the entire 7 days (or $600 per day for part time participants) and to participate in the media and public awareness events that are planned along the Tour's route.

- Providing their own transportation to and from Tour start and end points (including bicycle and equipment)
- Covering the cost of their own meals and lodging before and after the Tour
- Training for a 7-day cycling tour with daily mileages ranging from 40+ to 100+ miles (riders can set their own goals)
- Wearing the provided rider apparel each day of the ride.
- Participating in all public awareness events and tree plantings planned along the Tour route.
