Growing Shade announced plans in September to distribute 200 trees to eligible east Longmont participants in October. The program targeted properties east of Main Street in areas with less than 25% tree-canopy coverage.
Boulder County, the City of Longmont and PLAY Foundation’s Tree Trust partnered on the effort. The county said its voter-approved 0.125% Sustainability Tax funded the program.
The September 9 release said participants would also receive tools and care guidance. It described an expansion from the program’s 100 Longmont trees in 2025, plus 100 trees and shrubs brought to Lafayette earlier in 2026. The announced October distribution was a planned program round, not a current open registration notice.
