Adopt a Kentucky Tree
Adopting a tree is a neat way to acknowledge a tree that has somehow enhanced your quality of life, whether on a day-to-day basis or just once. Participating in this program gives you or your group the opportunity to join a community of treekeepers around Kentucky, who recognize the benefits and beauty that trees provide us.

Urban and community trees are largely on private property. This includes all of the homes and businesses in a community. Promoting the beauty and benefits of our community trees is a group effort. The tree in your yard benefits us both. The trees in all of our yards make up the urban forest. A healthy urban forest is a real possibility, one that starts with awareness of its benefits by us, the community.
