A (Free) Tree Grows in Belmont

Annual city program helps maintain the urban forest by giving away trees.

The Belmont Plant-A-Tree Program is making 25 trees available to Belmont residents in an effort to maintain the urban forest and improve the environment.

The trees will be offered to the first 25 respondents only and priority will go to the residents who have not previously received a tree. Trees must be planted in the City of Belmont and maintained by the resident.

To download an application, go to www.belmont.gov under the subheading for “Parks and Recreation” and go to the Fall Activity guide, page 8.
