TREE PLANTINGS

Greensboro Beautiful’s tree planting programs offer a number of opportunities for citizens to play an active role in keeping the green in

Greensboro. These programs have played a significant role in achieving and maintaining the City of Greensboro’s Tree City USA designation. Tree planting programs are accomplished in partnership with the NC Cooperative Extension Service and the City of Greensboro. NeighborWoods Community Tree Plantings
NeighborWoods, a project of the Urban Forestry Committee of Greensboro Beautiful working in partnership with the City of Greensboro and the NC Cooperative Extension Service, selects one neighborhood each year and works with residents to plant trees in their community. Applications are available on the City's Web site.

The mission of the NeighborWoods program is to help reforest Greensboro by planting trees in Neighborhoods with help from its residents and other volunteers. Each year, neighborhood associations wishing to have trees planted in their neighborhood or community park may submit an application for the NeighborWoods Program. The selected neighborhood works with the City of Greensboro and Greensboro Beautiful staff to help choose tree species for the planting and select a planting day. The program provides trees and mulch and the neighborhood is asked to take responsibility for planting, watering, mulching, and maintaining the trees.
