Queen Anne residents can get free trees for their neighborhood, plus get a bonus fruit tree for their own yard, as part of the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Tree Fund.  Under the Neighborhood Matching Fund program, the Tree Fund provides street trees to organized groups of neighbors who plant the free trees together to beautify their neighborhood.

The free “personal” apple or cherry tree is new this year as a way to increase the tree canopy and provide food for families.  For more information on the Tree Fund and to download an application, visit the city neighborhood website.  The deadline for applications is August 21.
