4. Native tree species make excellent street trees due to their adaptability to local conditions and lower maintenance requirements. Which tree species do you want to see planted in your neighborhood? Why?

5. Tree species like silver maples or certain fruit trees are generally unsuitable as street trees due to their aggressive root systems which can damage sidewalks and due to their tendency to drop large amounts of debris. Which tree species do you NOT want to see planted in your neighborhood? Why?

6. Would you be interested in participating in a community tree planting event this Fall (which will include free food, refreshments and fun activities for kids)? If yes, please provide us with your name, phone number, and email so we can keep you updated.

7. Please leave any further comments or suggestions you have regarding this planting plan.

Reminder: You can always opt out of receiving a street tree. If you do not want a tree in front of your house, please leave your address and the reason why you do not want a tree near your house.
