Groundwork Richmond is providing street trees for your home!
Groundwork Richmond is working to increase the urban tree canopy in marginalized communities in Richmond include: Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle neighborhoods with the help of residents and community partners.

​Together we have planted hundreds of trees. Residents actively take part in the watering and care of the trees, as well as benefit from the beauty of a tree right in front of their homes. Groundwork Richmond offers support in tree plantings and after-care assistance.

Did you know restoring our urban forest can:
  • Cool the streets for the hot summer months
  • Generate oxygen
  • Clean the air of particulate matter- this benefits sensitive populations like children, the elderly, & residents with asthma.
  • Reduce noise, slow traffic, & encourage outdoor activity
  • Provide a home for wildlife
  • Increase property values by 15% or more
  • Help make our city safer and more beautiful!
To receive your trees, do your part by:
  • Submitting an online Tree Adoption Application in Spanish or English 
  • OR mailing a physical Adopt-A-Tree Application (Bilingual) to 249A Tewksbury Ave, Richmond, CA. You can also email a scanned copy of this form to [email protected]
  • Watering weekly for the first 3 years and twice a week when it’s hot.
  • Weeding the base of the trees to ensure steady growth and to protect your tree from pests.
