Your city probably gives away free trees. The form is just buried behind seven clicks and a PDF from 2011. We fixed that.
Your city's been planting free trees for years. The form is just buried. We found it.
197,000+ neighborhoods. Your search is literally a vote for your city.
One place for the stuff your city scattered across 47 tabs
Equity data, free programs, native species, local culture. Everything useful, nothing buried.
Every block group scored 0 to 100 based on canopy, income, race, age, health, and heat exposure. Below 60 means it's a priority area: the blocks that need trees the most and get them the least.
Free trees, planting help, removal permits. We track status, who qualifies, and effort level. City, county, state programs. All in one view, no more hunting.
Not all trees are equal. Some evolved here over millennia. Others showed up uninvited. We show severity ratings for the invasives and full profiles for the natives.
Trees show up in books, parks, art, and history. Data makes you informed. Stories make you care. We collect both.
The world's just a bunch of blocks. Start with yours.

City of Pittsburgh — Free Street Tree Request
Property owners sign a Tree Planting Request Form to get free street trees in the public right-of-way. The city inspects your site, picks the species, and plants it at no charge. You agree to water ~20 gallons/week (under $1/yr) April–November for two years and protect the tree from damage. A tree pit of at least 30 sq ft (3'x10') will be cut in your sidewalk if needed. Not all sites are approved — the TreeVitalize Coordinator does a site analysis first.
Giving Grove
Urban fruit tree orchards on school grounds, vacant lots, or private yards. Includes pruning workshops and community orchard design.
ReLeaf Neighborhoods
Intensive canopy expansion in 6 low-canopy neighborhoods — Beltzhoover, California-Kirkbride, Hazelwood, Homewood, Lawrenceville, Manchester-Chateau. Residents help plan priority projects.
Your block deserves better. Let's fix that.
