Since 2009 Seattle reLeaf has helped Seattle residents plant over 6,300 trees around their homes through the Trees for Neighborhoods project. That’s 6,300 more trees working to clean our air and water, make our streets more walkable, and our neighborhoods healthier!

Summer is the perfect time to start planning for fall planting and Seattle reLeaf is here to help. Through Trees for Neighborhoods, Seattle residents can apply for up to four free trees for their homes. Planting with Seattle reLeaf includes support in choosing the right tree and planting spot, help with street tree permitting, free water bags and mulch for each tree, and training on proper planting and tree care.

This year Seattle reLeaf is offering 12 beautiful species, ranging from small flowering trees great for under power lines like the Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora ‘Victoria’) to larger evergreen trees like the native shore pine (Pinus contorta var ‘cortorta’) perfect for a larger yard space.

The application period runs from July 18–August 10. All applications submitted by August 10th will be entered into a lottery. Learn more and apply online http://www.seattle.gov/trees/treesforneighborhoods.htm.
