In partnership with KC Parks and Recreation Department, Heartland Tree Alliance volunteers are planting FREE trees in your neighborhood! Trees will be planted along the street right-of-way, which is typically 10-15 feet from the street. There is no cost to you – except for water! We will provide the tree, mulch, watering bag, and we will even plant the tree for you (total value of $400+)! We only ask that you water the tree weekly for its first two years!
Steps to take ASAP:
1. Contact us to reserve your tree! We ask that you complete our online reservation form (click here) or email us your contact information including name, address and phone number. There are a limited number of free trees available. First come, first served.
2. Shortly after you contact us, we will conduct an onsite inspection to confirm there is viable space and no other conflicts. If the proposed planting site meets KCMO’s criteria, we will ask you to sign a simple pledge form to agree to water the tree weekly for the first two years after planting.
3. Review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below to familiarize yourself with the program.
4. Educate yourself about the benefits of trees and why they are so important to our city. Click here to view our infographic.
