Neighborhoods organize a planting by identifying at least 30 plantable spots and submitting a Tree Planting Application. KIB supplies the trees, tools and mulch, handles permits and utility locates, and leads volunteers on planting day.","eligibility":"\"If your neighborhood is located within the City of Indianapolis, you can apply for 30+ trees.\" Neighbors must agree to watering: 15 gallons per tree per week from late March through November for three years. KIB waters trees in the public right-of-way; trees in common areas (schools, churches, HOA land) must be watered by residents.","how_to_apply":"Walk the neighborhood and find at least 30 planting spaces; email trees@kibi.org or call (317) 264-7555 to express interest; recruit a small planning group using KIB's \"Free Trees Coming Soon\" door hangers; compile planting addresses; then complete the Tree Planting Application at kibi.org/request/trees/. A virtual workshop (also in Spanish) is linked from the application page.","url":"https://www.kibi.org/request/trees/","source_url":"https://www.kibi.org/program/community-forestry/","season":null,"program_status":"active","lat":39.7684,"lng":-86.1581,"data_note":"The page does not state planting dates or whether applications are currently open.
