The goal of the program is to plant hundreds of trees in the neighborhoods that lack them the most, including the West Side, Waterside, Downtown, South End, Cove, and East Side neighborhoods. The city has already identified potential tree planting spots (see our map), and invite residents or businesses who live or own a business near these spots to request a tree. https://www.stamfordrecreation.com/branching-out-tree-initiative
