Your neighborhood

More trees for your block

Upgrade your block

Trees are a good investment for your neighborhood block because they:

  • Raise property values and make streets more attractive
  • Provide shade that lowers summer temperatures and cooling bills
  • Slow traffic and make streets feel safer to walk
  • Absorb stormwater that would otherwise run off into the lake
  • Give birds and pollinators somewhere to live
  • Make a block feel like a neighborhood

Next steps

Look around your block and see if there are any places to plant new trees. Talk to your neighbors — a street where several households plant at once changes far more than a single tree can.

Then come to our next free tree giveaway together, or sign up for the newsletter so you hear when the next one opens.

When you succeed, we all win.
