Free Trees for Los Angeles City Residents!

Free Trees for Los Angeles City

Residents!

Did you know that planting trees in urban environments can capture pollution and

storm water, reduce energy costs by providing shade, absorb noise, and increase

property values?

1

Are you interested in the benefits of planting trees at your

residence? If you are a resident of the City of Los Angeles, North East Trees can

help you receive free trees through the Million Trees Los Angeles initiative. The

Million Trees Los Angeles initiative is a partnership between the City of Los

Angeles and community organizations like North East Trees.

There are three ways to get your trees:

1)

Complete the Permission to Plant Street Trees Form for free street trees and

mail to the address below. These trees will be planted by North East Trees.

2)

Pick up a tree at North East Trees distribution events (to be announced).

3)

Sign up by completing and mailing the MTLA residential Tree Order Form

and have up to 7 trees delivered to your home within four weeks (to be planted

by the homeowner).



Pick your trees from the attached list of available trees



You must be a resident of the City of Los Angeles



The 7 trees must only be planted on residential property (not for use as

street trees)

Trees come in a 5 gallon container and are 3ft to 8 ft tall. Height varies depending on tree species. You can choose up to 7 shade trees. The trees you receive can only be planted on your property, not on the sidewalk or parkway. That area is City property and requires a permit from the City of LA. Million Trees LA only delivers shade trees – we do not deliver fruit trees to homes or offer palm trees of any kind.
