Help us build Resilienc-TREE in the Doan Brook Watershed
FREE NATIVE TREES AVAILABLE NOW!
We had leftover trees from our April 19, Free Tree Giveaway Event! We would love to get them to their new homes in Cleveland ASAP.
Trees are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE and feel free to have someone pick up your tree for you. Receive up to 2 trees per residence.
Remaining species include Redbud, Red Maple, and Black Gum.
See below for more details on this program.
DBWP will give away 200 native trees (3-5 gallon) to Cleveland residents who complete “Tree School 101” training at one of our 2025 Watershed Festivals or tree giveaways.
Funding was provided by the Cleveland Tree Coalition (CTC) Cleveland and the goal of the Tree Giveaway Grant is to provide trees to residents at no cost to increase planting on private property, build sentiment around trees, and build community trust.
Are you eligible?
- Trees must be planted on private property within the City of Cleveland.
- Trees may not be planted in containers or in the tree lawn/public right-of-way.
- Individuals can sign up for two trees per address.
If your application is accepted, you will be invited to pick up your tree at one of our Watershed Festivals or tree giveaway events. Trees are in 3-5 gallon containers and will be small enough to fit in cars or be carried on public transportation.
