Adopt-a-Tree

Adopt-a-Tree is a program that rescues small and/or young trees from properties that are slated for development, are no longer wanted by a homeowner, or from a community event. We save the trees and provide them at no cost to community members. These trees and other native plants are available to ‘adopt’ by residents, schools, parks, and other interested organizations.

Adopting a Tree

We will have trees in stock now! If you are interested in ‘adopting’ a tree, please fill out this online Adopt-a-Tree Interest Form, and we will be in touch with next steps.

A few things to note:

• Tree matching will be on a first come, first served basis.
• Tree recipients are responsible for picking up and planting the tree themselves, although we can provide some direction on proper planting if needed.
• Because these are “rescues,” KSB and the Tree Board cannot guarantee the long-term viability of the tree.

If you have questions, email ksbinc15@gmail.com or call (678) 631-5519.

Donating a Tree

If you have a healthy tree that you no longer want on your property and are looking to donate it to the Adopt-a-Tree program, please email ksbinc15@gmail.com with the type of a tree and a photo. We accept trees based on their size.
