Elliot Park Tree Adoption Signup 
Thanks for signing up to help us water trees! Access to water is one of the main determinants of tree health and influences how likely young trees are to reach maturity. By signing up to water a tree, you are helping promote the health of our urban canopy and keeping Elliot Park clean, green, and safe. Contact us at minneapolisdid@gmail.com to request any supplies or support you may need to keep your tree watered.

These terms were updated on 6/11/2025. Please reach out to minneapolisdid@gmail.com with questions or concerns.

By signing up, you are committing to fill your tree's water bag each week it does not rain 1" or more from May 3 to October 5, 2025 (22 weeks).
  • Adopters receive a $25 sign-up stipend to compensate for time and effort; limit one stipend per adopter.
  • New this year: Adopters will also be awarded for their continued work on a monthly basis: If you water your tree 2 weeks out of the month, you will earn $10. If you water your tree every week of the month, you will earn $25. Adopters may adopt more than one tree (and are encouraged to!), but you will only be awarded for one tree. Maximum award amount is $125.
  • Adopters are only asked to water each week it does not rain 1" or more. If it rains 1" or more you do not have to water as this can lead to overwatering. These rain weeks will be included as weeks watered ONLY IF you have completed at least 1 week of actual watering that month.
  • Finally, adopters will also have the chance to win a grand prize at the end of the growing season.
  • All prizes and stipends will be in the form of a Visa gift card.
To obtain monthly award: 
  • Text or email a photo of your tree with a full water bag to (612) 455-3448‬ or minneapolisdid@gmail.com (maximum one entry per week)
To earn an entry to the grand prize drawing:
  • Sign up to adopt a tree (one entry per tree)
  • Attend a tree watering party (one entry per event) (Visit www.mplsdid.com/volunteercal to see upcoming events)
  • Refer a friend to adopt a tree (one entry per referral)

Finally, this lottery is intended to encourage residents who would not otherwise be paid for the work of watering, and as such, any person who receives compensation for the maintenance of the property which the tree is on does not qualify for the lottery.
