GWCA ECO / Green Committee:
GWCA is applying for a TreePlanters grant from Openlands, a local environmental nonprofit. The grant will allow GWCA to work with professional arborists to replace 10-30 street trees in our neighborhood. If you have an open spot along the parkway between your sidewalk and the street, please contact GWCA ECO / Green Committee Member, Joel McFarland joel.mcfarland@gmail.com or contact info@gracelandwest.org so that you can be included in our grant application.
What will happen when I request a tree through the TreePlanters grant? GWCA will include your parkway spot on the list of potential planting sites that we submit to Openlands. If we receive the grant, an arborist will visit the site and determine whether a tree can be planted and what species would be appropriate. We will work with Openlands to schedule a planting date in the spring. We ask that you join us for the planting and commit to watering and caring for the tree after it is planted.

Why should I care about street trees? Street trees absorb water and help mitigate neighborhood flooding. They also help to cool our neighborhood, improve air quality, and increase property values
I submitted a 311 request for a new street tree. Why hasn’t the city responded? The city has a backlog of tree requests and often takes over a year to respond. Openlands coordinates their work with the city and has permission to plant trees in parkways. The Openlands TreePlanters grants help neighborhoods to replant their street trees more quickly.
