Spring is Near

Spring is NEAR

Are you a Cranston resident or business owner looking to add natural beauty to your property?

The Cranston Neighborhood Tree Planting Program is back and is now accepting applications for the spring 2024. The program is FREE for all Cranston property owners — including homeowners, small business owners and non-profit organizations.

You can help beautify Cranston by applying for a free, 7-foot-tall native species tree, which a professional nursery will plant. Trees must be planted in the front yard, but not between sidewalks and the curb.

Hurry as we need to stake your tree location, have Dig Safe confirm there are no obstacles, and schedule the professional planting. We plant native trees, examples are: sugar or red maple, northern red oak, linden and maybe a native conifer.

The program is funded by the city and coordinated by the West Bay Land Trust. For application forms go to westbaylandtrust.org/cranstontree, or request an application or information at cranstontree@gmail.com, or call 401-941-1264.
