Just before the Trees for Neighborhoods annual free trees program kicked off, we gave the heads up about this program and how you could apply for up to 4 free trees.
Applications opened on August 4th, and 20 days later, there are still trees available. Apply today for free trees that will help beautify Queen Anne, provide shade, and even increase property values. Plus, the upfront investment is zero – the trees are free, you just have to plant them and provide care, and ReLeaf helps get you started.
White Oak
Not only do you get free trees, you also get assistance for permit applications and training on tree planting and care.
Trees can be planted in planting strips (that space between the sidewalk and the street) or in your yard.
Plus, if you apply for a white oak, silver linden, tulip tree, or black tupelo for your planting strip, it could be a future neighborhood landmark tree.
Tulip Tree
Street trees require a 7 or 8 foot planting strip with no overhead power lines. If you have the space and no power lines, what are you waiting for? Those of us who wilt in the summer heat will appreciate the shade that these trees will one day provide.
Apply today! Street trees applications are due by this Wednesday, August 27th. Yard tree applications will be accepted until October.
If you have any questions on the free tree program, send an email or call 206-684-3979.
