Johnny Appleseed Street Tree Project
The City of Oakwood and the Oakwood Beautification Committee are once again offering residents the opportunity to purchase trees through the Johnny Appleseed Street Tree Planting Project.
Applications and detailed brochures describing the program and available tree species are available at the links below and at the Oakwood Community Center (OCC). Oakwood property owners may choose from several beautiful tree varieties.
Since its start in 1976, the Johnny Appleseed Project has supported the City’s strong commitment to urban forestry and environmental stewardship, resulting in the planting of over 3,300 trees throughout Oakwood.
