100 FREE native trees for Cleveland residents!

Doan Brook Watershed Partnership (DBWP) has 100 native trees to give away to Cleveland residents. 

Cleveland residents are eligible for two free trees and must plant the trees on Cleveland private property. Additionally, all recipients are required to attend “Tree School 101,” a 15-minute presentation on caring for and maintaining trees. Several species are available, including Red Maple, Ohio Buckeye, Eastern Redbud, American plum, and Pawpaw. Requests for specific species of trees for your yard are unavailable due to unknown species availability. Most trees will be between three and six feet in height in three to five-gallon buckets.

Interested individuals must fill out a form before receiving their trees. 

This event will be held in the rear parking lot of the Fairhill Partners Campus. Check the map below with specific event locations and traffic flow.

Directions for community members to follow to reach the DBWP live stakes drive through events.

About our Free Tree Program!

DBWP received a $10,000 grant from the Cleveland Tree Coalition to provide trees at no cost to Cleveland residents to increase planting on private property, build sentiment around trees, and build community trust. Approximately 30% of the Doan Brook Watershed is covered by tree canopy. When sub-dividing the watershed into smaller neighborhood units tree canopy’s cover as low as 4% of these areas! Help us  increase our tree canopy to encourage resiliency across Cleveland.
