Dear Neighbors,

We are nearing the March 9th deadline for free street tree applications! If you have been thinking about requesting a tree, now is the time to get your applications in!

The Highland Park Tree Tenders are once again planting sidewalk and front yard trees. For this round of applications we are asking for trees for King Ave and nearby cross streets (Bryant, Hampton, Wellesley, Avondale, Beverly and N. Negley). If you would like a free tree(s) (value of $500-$1,000) and you live on any of these streets, fill out the attached application. You can fill it out and email it back to me, put it in my mailbox or mail it. If you have questions, send me an email.

Thanks to everyone who has already applied this time around!
