NorthWest Carrollton

We are working with Monique Pilie of Hike for KaTREEna to rebuild the tree canopy of our neighborhood. We can improve our neighborhood by adding trees to our homes, keeping our streets cool and green. Please join us in this exciting effort.

Trees can be planted on your private property or city property in front or beside your home. We only need a few things from you if you would like a tree for your home:

1) Your agreement to keep the tree/s well watered for the first year.
2) Fill out the permit application, if you want the tree(s) planted on city property (between the sidewalk and street). Trees can also be planted in your front yard or side yard as long as these trees benefit the sidewalk public area as well.

Hike for KaTREEna will provide the trees at no cost. Monique will also clear the permits with city government and work with the urban forester to determine the best tree for each location. NorthWest Carrollton will be providing volunteers to help plant the trees January 24, 2009. We hope you can help!

Stay tuned for other posts on why TREES are good for our neighborhood, your property values, your energy bills and your health and even help to fight crime.

If live in NorthWest Carrollton (bounded by Earhart-Carrollton-Claiborne-Leonidas) and you want a form to request free trees, leave a comment and we’ll get back to you!
