My wondrous friend and client Leesa Kraemer reminded me about the City of Richmond’s Urban Forestry Division’s Adopt-a-Tree program…you can apply to have a tree planted along the street to replace any that have been lost through the years. Or that were never planted in the first place but are much needed now.
This is from the City of Richmond’s website:
Residents may participate in the Adopt-A-Tree Program by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Parks & Recreation Foundation which will go toward planting a new tree or trees. Additionally, participants agree to water the tree for the first two years as outlined in the Tree Maintenance Agreement. Applications for the Adopt-A-Tree are due by October 1. Trees are planted late November through the end of February. For additional information please refer to Frequently Asked Questions and the Approved Tree Planting List.
