Roxhill/Westwood and Highland Park – FREE TREES Deadline October 4th

[linasenzerrose]

This will probably go up on the main WSB page but I thought I would also post it to the Forum too.

As the deadline for residents in South Seattle to apply to receive FREE TREES for their yard or parking strip approaches, I need your help to get the word out! We have had in incredible response so far and 450 trees have been requested-but we have more left to give. The Trees for Neighborhoods program is a partnership between the city of Seattle and EarthCorps designed to increase the city’s tree canopy coverage by distributing free trees to interested residents for planting on private and street right-of-way property.

More info on the program can be found at:

I am happy to work directly with residents to select appropriate trees and complete the application. A list of the Target Areas, available trees with pictures can all be viewed at the above link. Residents are welcome to call or email me with any questions. We are now out of Magnolia, Serviceberry and Dogwood trees. I have been encouraging residents to go for the largest trees appropriate for their property to maximize the community benefit of the tree.

Please feel free to circulate this note far and wide to blogs, listserves, email lists, Facebook Pages etc. If you participated in the 2009 Seattle Community ReLeaf program (the pilot program to Trees for Neighborhoods), you are not not eligible to apply for more free trees this year – sorry!
