Seattle reLeaf's 2012 Trees for Neighborhoods program is providing people with up to 4 free trees per household to plant in your own yard.

In addition to free trees, participants in the program receive free watering bags, training on proper planting and care of trees, and ongoing tree care support. Street tree applications will be due September 1 and yard tree applications will be due October 21. The city cautions though that many species sell out quickly.
