Based on your responses, all three of our programs would be suitable for you! Please read through the descriptions below and select which (if any) you are interested in participating in.

Backyard Buffers

Through Backyard Buffers you can receive 10-15 tree seedlings to plant on your property. These seedling bundles are a great way to get young trees and shrubs to plant on your property. Each buffer bundle corresponds to different site conditions. This is a spring program and will be open for ordering during the month of March. We have made note of your response and will add you to our interest list for this year. To learn more about the Backyard Buffer program, please visit: https://aawsa.org/backyard-buffers

Groves of Gratitude

Through Groves of Gratitude you can receive up to 10 small tree and/or shrubs (2-5 gallon size) to plant on your property. Our Groves are tailored to help you best suit your property's planting needs. This is a fall program and will be open for ordering during the month of October. We have made note of your response and will add you to our interest list for this year. To learn more about the Groves program, please visit: https://aawsa.org/groves-of-gratitude

Tree Troopers

Through this program you can complete a planting project on your property or in your community. The trees planted through this program are offered at a low cost but are on average 4-6ft tall when planted. If interested, you can participate in the spring training session and become a trained tree planting volunteer, known as a Tree Trooper. If you're not interested in becoming a Tree Trooper, we can connect you with an existing one to work with you to get trees on your property! Projects occur in both the spring and fall seasons. Please feel free to check out Resilient Tree Species list to get some ideas about what types of trees could be planted on your property: https://aawsa.org/resilient-species
