Cincinnati Parks’ Fall ReLeaf Program

Cincinnati property owners can get a free tree to plant in their yard and help improve the City's urban canopy.

38 Years of Free Trees for Cincinnati

The Green Cincinnati Plan, led by the Office of Environment and Sustainability sets a goal of reaching 40% tree canopy coverage citywide. Programs like Fall ReLeaf support this effort by providing trees to homeowners and Cincinnati Public Schools.

Thanks to the support of many generous donors, including MadTree Brewing, Dynegy and the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, homeowners can plant their free trees anywhere in their yards where the tree can thrive. This support also provides the trees to Cincinnati property owners at no cost. Each year, this program plants 1,000 new trees throughout the city.

For further questions, call the Park Board Administration office.
