The Neighborhood Design Center conducted extensive outreach with residents and property owners in Weinland Park to create direct connections that would lead to successful tree plantings. Through attending the Weinland Park Festival and meetings of the Weinland Park Community Civic Association, the tree planting program was marketed thoroughly in the neighbrhood. When property owners expressed interest in the program, NDC created site plans to determine, in conjunction with the owner, the ideal placement for the new tree(s). The goal of the program was to increase the tree canopy along streets, so only front or side yard trees were permitted to be funded. If property owners requested a backyard tree, NDC referred them to other programs that could provide a free sapling for easy planting. Once the ideal locations were determined, Seely’s Nursery ensured that there would be no underground utilities in the location. Then, Seely’s planted the tree and installed a 10-gallon tree bag to support tree stabilization and growth in the early weeks of planting.
