Get a tree of your very own! It’s easy as 1, 2, 3 — tree. Visit the FoT webpage to see your list of choices—no obligation to plant. Want a street tree? FoT will send someone to measure, assess and permit your planting strip and send you a list of approved trees. Want a yard tree? You choose exactly where you want to plant. FoT volunteers and crew leaders will plant for you, although you are welcome to help.
