Tree Request Process

(1)  Go to our "Request A Tree!" form : ​https://forms.gle/A2Jo2cTUdJqESYTo8

(2) After we receive your Tree Request, we'll contact you to schedule a Site Visit and discuss which species would be appropriate for your site.

(3) In the meantime, review the list of city-approved species found here to choose your species.

(4) After our Site Visit, file a free permit with City of Oakland Tree Services with your requested species.

(5)  We will schedule a planting date for our volunteers to plant your trees.  (We plant November-May.)  If you would like to join us, sign up to volunteer here.

(6) We request $150/tree to cover the cost of the tree, but we seek to accommodate all requests due to financial concerns

(7) Water your tree weekly for 3 years.

(8) Spread the word!  You can download promotional materials to help spread the news here
