West Seattleite Lina Rose from EarthCorps is getting the word out about the Community ReLeaf Pilot Project – which is trying to help restore Seattle’s “tree canopy,” particularly in city areas that are relatively tree-deficient:
EarthCorps is partnering with the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability and the Environment to manage a pilot program designed to distribute free trees to individual residents to plant in their private property and parking strips in front of their houses in neighborhoods with low tree canopy coverage. There are a few different trees that residents can choose from and an option of selecting cherry trees too.
In West Seattle, free trees are available for residents in Genesee, The Junction, Westwood and Roxhill – applications are being taken now, and you can get all the details by going here.
