LET’S GET THIS STARTED!
With their exciting vision for 2020-2025, Heights Urban Forestry is planting trees for today and tomorrow in a block by block effort to restore the Heights’ tree canopy.
WHAT YOU CAN YOU DO NOW
On your walks in the neighborhood, look for places in the right-of-way (ROW) that would benefit from trees. When you see an amazing mature tree, send a photo and location to get posted on Heights Urban Forestry • Living in Tandem with Trees Facebook page.
WHAT YOU CAN YOU DO NEXT
- Consider being a block captain for your neighborhood
- Look for places that would benefit from new trees
- Via email/social media/phone/text:
- Reach out to your neighbors about planting a tree in their ROW
- Get a signed form from each neighbor that desires a tree (From HHA – Heights Urban Forestry}
- Requires a minimum of 15 trees per block captain in an area to participate
- Submit forms to HHA Urban Forestry by June 15th for trees in October
- Forms received after June 15th, but by September 30th will be planted in January
