Front yard tree program returns to Dunwoody

DUNWOODY, Ga. — For the fourth straight year, Dunwoody is partnering with Trees Atlanta to plant up to 80 shade trees in front yards across the city.

The city says trees will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.

“The Front Yard Tree Program is a simple yet powerful way for residents to make a lasting difference in Dunwoody’s landscape,” Community Development Director Richard McLeod said. “City Council has seen the value in a program that strengthens our canopy, cools our neighborhoods and contributes to a healthier environment for future generations.”

Trees Atlanta, a nonprofit committed to the care and replenishment of Metro Atlanta’s urban forest, manages the processing of tree requests and coordinates with each homeowner to select, place and install up to two front yard trees per yard through the program.
