Hey Jay Vee-

Thanks for the question, and it sounds like you saw the donation lines toward the bottom of the order form. To expand for DM readers: we are collecting donations for both Trees Atlanta and City of Decatur to plant trees if you don’t have a place on your own property. Trees Atlanta will plant on both public and private property, and the city will use the money to buy trees for city property and rights-of-way.

Mrs. Vee had a great question yesterday when we passed by the donated tree and sale site. Is it possible to pay for a tree (or two) and have the city plant it in an appropriate site? We have a bit of a logjam on our property and may not have room for new growth, but would still like to contribute to the local canopy.

Edit – Oops, just re-read the order form. Never mind, carry on. Nothing to see here…

Thanks again to Chadwick for getting this going.

The trees are being sold basically at cost. Any extra proceeds will go to planting additional trees within the city.

I think this is a great thing! Where will the proceeds form the sale of the Arbor Day trees go?

What would have happened if the mayor HADN’T accepted the tree?
