| Description: |
The City Tree Project uses contaminated/tax-defaulted land
throughout the metropolitan area to research, select, and
develop trees and shrubs that will endure harsher urban
conditions. The project uses abandoned parcels to test and
grow a number of species of trees and shrubs and test their
tolerances to soil and air borne pollutants, severe
temperatures, dry and wet conditions, and varying soil pH
and compaction. The trees are left to remain on site for
further evaluation and for the addition of green canopy,
with maintenance and additional plants provided by
neighborhood associations and garden clubs. The Project is
membership based with fees of $25 for individuals and small
businesses, and $45 for larger corporations. Contact us for
a brochure and membership form.
