Get Ready for a Greener Dunwoody!

Dunwoody is making the community even more beautiful with its third annual Front Yard Tree Program, a delightful initiative to add shade trees to yards across the city. Teaming up with Trees Atlanta, the city has committed to providing local property owners with up to 80 free trees this year. That’s right — free trees to enhance your curb appeal and help the environment!

How It Works

If you’re a Dunwoody resident and you’re interested in participating, it’s super easy! These trees are to be planted on private property, but they must be located within 35 feet of any right-of-way. Keep in mind that the trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay if you’re keen on sprucing up your yard with some greenery!

Once you receive your tree, the responsibility of watering and maintaining it falls on you. This is a great way for residents to take ownership and become more connected to the beautiful greenery in their community. You’ll have the chance to cultivate your own slice of nature right in your front yard!

Success in Numbers

A Commitment to Our Urban Forest

The Front Yard Tree Program doesn’t just beautify neighborhoods, it also promotes the preservation and care of the urban forest that is so vital to Metro Atlanta. With most participating cities located in DeKalb County and Sandy Springs representing the North Fulton County region, this initiative is steering a strong movement in the area.

The program’s leaders have voiced their commitment to this green initiative from the very beginning. The aim is to not only provide residents with lovely shade trees but also to empower the community in maintaining the natural beauty that Dunwoody has to offer.

Expressions of Gratitude

As the program continues to grow, appreciation flows towards both residents and city officials for their enthusiastic support and active participation. Every tree planted represents a step forward in nurturing Dunwoody’s environment and making it a greener place for generations to come.

Final Thoughts

The Front Yard Tree Program is more than just tree planting; it is about creating a cheerful community that values nature. So, dust off your gardening tools and get ready to embrace the beauty of trees right in your front yard! Together, we can make Dunwoody a leader in urban forestry and ensure our charming city grows greener and more vibrant with each passing season!
