Check out the tree canopy we’re creating!
At the close of our Spring 2024 planting season, Heights Tree People has planted 1,223 trees in the Heights area!
And Spring 2024 was our best planting season yet. (The best is yet to come!)
In Spring 2024 we planted 87 trees as part of our front-yard tree program. This includes 72 trees planted in Cleveland Heights and 15 in University Heights. Want a tree? Request a tree.
And we planted 64 trees as part of the Coventry PEACE Campus Urban Mini-Forest project. We’ll be planting more here in the Fall of 2024. If you’d like to help out, sign up to volunteer for a planting day!
Join the Fun!
We love planting and taking care of trees. But we love it even more when friends—and future friends—join us.
Our events are a time to bring people together, learn about trees and how they thrive, and discover what we can do to make our communities healthier and stronger.
