\nThe primary goal of the Plant a Street Tree Program is to plant right-of-way trees in the Hiawatha. As a recipient of a tree, your job will be to care for the newly-planted tree during its establishment. Caring for a tree during its establishment period (4-5 years) increases the likelihood of its survival. Your assistance helps rebuild the City canopy while helping City Staff with tree maintenance needs.<\/p>\n
