Trees are good for you comfort and your wallet. They increase your property value, lower your A/C bill, and reduce flooding. They benefit all of us by providing shade and improving neighborhood air quality. And they provide habitat for wildlife such as songbirds and pollinators.

Hundreds of your neighbors have already saved $200–$300 by signing up for a free tree, to be planted in the fall on your property. The deadline is June 29. Individuals and groups, such as places of worship or homeowner associations, can apply. For details see https://www.ecoactionarlington.org/community-programs/trees/. If you’re in Aurora Highlands or Arlington Ridge, contact Kathy Landis. She is coordinating applications for our neighborhoods. landis59@gmail.com
