How to Register for Free Yard Tree
Find the most convenient event below and follow the link to register for your tree. We will contact you the week before the event to confirm your request and provide additional details on how to pick up your tree.

Need Delivery or Planting Assistance?
Delivery: Due to very limited capacity, delivery service is reserved for residents without access to a vehicle. If you have a car but can’t make it to the event, please try again next season.
Planting Assistance: If you are physically unable to plant your tree, we will arrange for your tree to be delivered and planted in your yard. We are only able to plant trees for community members who are physically unable to plant their own tree. Planting involves lifting a ~20lb pot (about the weight of a toddler), digging a small hole the size of a 5 gallon bucket and kneeling over to fill the hole by hand. Everyone receiving a tree will receive instructions on how to plant.

Tree Care and Frequently Asked Questions:
Residents are responsible for the planting, care and maintenance of the trees. For more information and frequently asked questions, visit our FAQ page. Also check out our Yard Tree Planting and Care Page to learn more about caring for your trees! All this information will be provided in paper copy with your tree upon pick-up.
