Leon County is proud to offer the 2017 Adopt-A-Tree public tree planting program. If you live inside Leon County, but outside of Tallahassee city limits, you may qualify to have an Eastern Red-cedar planted on your property for free. The Eastern Red-cedar is a large maturing evergreen tree, keeping its foliage year-round.If you agree to water the tree three times a week for one year, Leon County Public Works will plant the tree anywhere between your house and any publicly-maintained road or any privately maintained road with public access. To have a tree planted on your property between February and March 2017, simply fill out an application online at www.LeonCountyFL.gov/AdoptATree and place a wooden stake at the desired location. Public Works will try to get as close to the designated area as possible.

The application deadline is Tuesday, January 31, 2017.
