HVA's 2026 Street Tree Program

Rooted in Harleston

Restoring Harleston Village's historic canopy — one street tree at a time.

Apply now

Only 15 trees in 2026 · $295 per tree · HVA gives 1 free tree for every 2 you plant

Announcing launch of Rooted in Harleston Tree Canopy Campaign

We are delighted to announce Rooted in Harleston, a Harleston Village Association (“HVA”) initiative to help restore the Village tree canopy.

Partnering with the City’s Urban Forestry Division, HVA has secured approval to plant 15 trees this winter along Village streets. More importantly, for every two trees purchased by participating members ($295 per tree), HVA will donate a third tree free of charge.

With our tree canopy well below the nation’s average, this is a wonderful opportunity to help bring more shade to city streets. We certainly need it after this year’s record-breaking temperatures. More importantly, you get to choose the type of tree based on Urban Forestry’s “right tree, right place” philosophy. See our FREE guide to eligible trees, with photos of each one grown up. This includes placement at your residence address if placement criteria can be met.

With ONLY 15 trees allocated to Harleston Village this year, get the ball rolling by applying online — it takes about five minutes and goes straight to the reviewers. The program guide (PDF) covers the benefits of the Program, the application process, and a comprehensive FAQ. Your Area Steward is happy to address any lingering questions. Tree purchases can be tax deductible.

ACT NOW to secure your tree and pass the word around the neighborhood.
