    Ways Trees Can Benefit Your Neighborhood

    • Trees help clean the air we breathe.
    • Trees help clean our water by holding rainfall on the leaves and branches, making the threats of flooding less likely.
    • Trees save energy by shading buildings and minimizing the need for air conditioning
    • Trees give the neighborhoods a sense of place, a community where neighbors know one another, and slow traffic
    • Studies show that trees help us feel peaceful and secure as they bring a bit of nature into our urban environments.
    • Trees bring people together and neighborhoods are made stronger by the shady streets and parks.
    • The tree canopy is essential for sustaining a viable ecosystem for birds, small animals, and the rest of the web of life that surrounds us

    How the Program Works

    • Trees are planted on City rights-of-way, which are located between the curb and sidewalk.
    • Residents are responsible for watering the new tree for the first year after planting.
    • Limit of 2 trees per annual planting year. Demise of any tree does not guarantee a replacement.
    • Each site will be inspected to carefully match the new tree to existing landscape conditions and or restrictions.

    Watering Guidelines

    Watering is the single most important step in the survival of the newly planted tree(s). A commitment of a 90 day watering schedule will need to be followed.

    • 1st set of 30 days after planting; water every day
    • 2nd set of 30 days after planting; water every other day
    • 3rd set of 30 days after planting; water every 3 days or twice a week

    After the initial 90 day watering schedule; water 1 (once) a week and more often during times of shortage in rainfall. If your tree shows signs of wilting or leaves turning brown and falling off, water daily until tree shows no sign of wilting and new healthy growth appears.
