Canopies for Campuses Application
Research shows that trees have a positive effect on student performance. Trees Knoxville wants to bring the benefits of trees to Knox County schools! We plant between November and March.
How it works…
You:
Get your principal’s approval to have trees planted on your campus.
Find out where your water spigots are located (and get permission to use them).
Have a general idea of where you want to plant your trees.
Recruit a team of tree-loving volunteers to plant and water—a two-year maintenance commitment ensures viability.
Submit application.
We:
Meet with you.
Design a tree planting plan for your school.
Request approval from KCS Maintenance Department.
Purchase the trees.
Organize the planting.
Bring more volunteers and shovels and tools.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
*Trees must be planted in areas where volunteers have access and permission to water the trees before and after school hours, as well as during breaks.
*Quantity of trees depends on tree species and availability, Trees Knoxville purchases and plants focusing on ‘right tree, right location’ principles.
*All final locations will have the approval of your Principal and KCS maintenance.
