I serve as neighborhood coordinator for the Friends of the Urban Forest, and our goal is to help get as many trees lining our streets as neighbors would like. After much planning and discussion, we have settled on a planting date — on May 6th, the trees are going in!
For those of you who already expressed an interest in having trees planted in front of your house, thank you!
We have 18 applications in so far, and we need more! The deadline to turn in your forms to schedule a tree for that planting date is April 1st (no fooling).
The cost per tree ($150) includes help checking for utility locations, choosing an appropriate species of tree, the tree itself, city permit processing, planting supplies, concrete removal and hauling, soil augering, plus volunteer support before, during and after the planting. FUF will also provide a two month post-planting survey and an 18 month tree care visit.
If you’re at all interested in getting a tree or two in front of your house, please let me know!
