Begin your community distribution 

Get your tree distribution campaign started by working through the following steps. As always, we’re here to help along the way. 

Set a budget

Decide how many trees will be distributed in your project and set a budget that can support it.

Choose a distribution method

Select how people receive their trees. We can work with you to determine which option is right for you.

  • Mailed: once reserved by participants, trees are packaged with planting instructions and shipped directly to their door
  • Pick-up event: participants pick up their trees at a distribution event
  • Home drop-off: your team delivers trees directly to recipients’ doorsteps
  • Partner with a planting organization: support a planting or distribution event with the help of a local environmental organization or nonprofit

Select tree species 

Choose tree species that are right for your area and hardiness zones from our trusted nursery partners. Your species selections will help determine the cost of your program.

Provide your geographic footprint

Define and share your project area using zip codes or a GIS shape file of your boundaries. From here, we can help identify areas most in need of trees and customize your distributions to your audience and goals across multiple projects.

Set a timeline

Determine a timeline for your tree distribution campaign. Include key events like planning calls, a website launch, and tree distributions within your plan. If you choose to have participants pick up their trees, choose a distribution date, time, and location and start organizing your event.

Review and test your platform
