Experience all that Iowa has to offer and help promote tree science at the 2022 Tour des Trees.

The Tour des Trees is a multiday, supported bike tour, which will start in Des Moines, Iowa and end in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Tour des Trees riders will spend up to six days riding through western Iowa and Nebraska, engaging with communities and raising funds for TREE Fund.

Riders can choose one, two, three, four, five, or six-day ride options and will raise funds for each day they ride. The total mileage over the six days totals over 440 miles!

In addition to riding and having fun on their bikes, riders will also be ambassadors for the TREE Fund and for tree science; stopping at various spots along the way and spreading the word about the importance of trees and tree care.

After registering, all riders will create an online fundraising page to help them towards reaching their fundraising goal. Riders will also be able to reserve a custom bike jersey and other gear which will make them the envy of their cycling friends. Hotels and meals are provided, as well as sag support along the route.

This year’s Tour des Trees starts on Saturday, September 3 and runs through Saturday, September 10.
