(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
.  Concrete removal is not included in this charge - owners must pay for concrete removal or do it themselves.  Low-cost options may be available in selected neighborhoods.

(7) Water your tree weekly for 3 years.

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