Beat the Heat--Plant a Tree

Our tree-ordering portal is now open. Trees are subject to availability and delivery by participating jurisdictions. Please use this portal to order up to three trees which will be delivered between October 2025 and the end of March 2026 for planting on your property. For more information about selecting and siting tree, please see the materials in Columbia Green's Resource library at https://columbiagreen.org/resource-library to make informed tree selections. You are also invited to sign up to attend one of our free educational events. Sign up to attend an event at https://columbiagreen.org/beattheheat.

If you want more than three trees, please contact April Lucas at aprillucas@columbiagreen.org

By Requesting a tree from Columbia Green's Beat the Heat--Plant a Tree initiative, you become a lifetime member of Columbia Green and agree to receive communication from Columbia Green about Beat the Heat and Columbia Green's programs and initiatives.

Please add any additional notes here. Note that special requests will not be honored on this form. For special requests, please email April Lucas at aprillucas@columbiagreen.org.

Tree recipients are responsible for planting their trees using the directions provided on our website and the information that will be attached to each tree. Should you have physical limitations that might make it impossible or difficult to plant your trees you may indicate that you would like us to find volunteers to help you. We will do our best to match you up with a team of volunteers to help. Note that accepting the help of volunteers still requires you to prepare for digging by calling 811. You must also agree to hold volunteers harmless while on your property.

Only residents of participating jurisdictions are eligible for trees through Beat the Heat. Check the link below for eligibility. We encourage you to apply even if your location is not currently eligible as it will give us a basis for requesting support from your local government.

Requested trees are subject to availability at budgeted prices. If a requested tree is unavailable, you will be contacted to submit another choice.
