How do you apply?

What do you win?
- A 30 minute tree planting / tree care demo and info session.

If your street wins, how do you get your tree?

Here are some of the ways trees are so awesome:
- Increased shade on a street increases physical activity and the health of the residents.
- Trees increase your property value.
- Trees attract birds and wildlife.
- Properly placed trees shade your house and reduce your electric bills.
- Shaded pavement makes asphalt last longer . . . . no potholes!
- Trees increase a person’s sense of well-being and happiness.
- Planting trees together will help you get to know your neighbors and will build community.
