DBWP will give away 200 native trees to Cleveland residents

Funding was provided by the Cleveland Tree Coalition (CTC) Cleveland and the goal of the Tree Giveaway Grant is to provide trees to residents at no cost to increase planting on private property, build sentiment around trees, and build community trust.

Are you eligible?

• Trees must be planted on private property within the City of Cleveland.
• Trees may not be planted in containers or in the tree lawn/public right-of-way.
• Individuals can sign up for two trees per address.

We will offer a brief training on tree planting and maintenance when you pick up your tree.

Trees are are roughly 3-6 ft tall, in 3-5 gallon containers, and are generally small enough to fit in cars or be carried on public transportation.
