FREE Trees

for Neighborhoods, Schools, Parks & Yards!

Greetings from Our City Forest!

Our City Forest currently has FREE SHADE TREES for streets and yards in South San Jose. This opportunity expires soon, so we have attached applications for your convenience.

For free public trees for streets, schools, or parks, please complete and mail the attached Tree Grant Application.  Our mailing address is indicated below.

For one free private tree for your own yard, please complete & mail the attached “Shade and Save” Application.  To qualify for this pilot project sponsored by PG&E, applicants must own their own home and have air conditioning as well as agree to plant the tree in a strategic location that will block sun rays during the afternoon.  (see application for details)

Our City Forest will visit your site to determine eligibility and assist you in selecting the right tree, and in properly planting and caring for it.

Our City Forest is a local non-profit cultivating a greener, healthier community by planting and caring for trees in partnership with residents and volunteers.  Trees provide many benefits to the community, including cleaning our air, lowering energy consumption, raising property values, and making our city a healthier place to live.

We look forward to working with you to beautify your neighborhood and your city.  Please feel free to call or write me should you need additional information.
