Adopt-A-Tree can be used to operate tree adoption programs that allow volunteers to adopt and care for the community's trees.
Publicly owned trees that line streets and dot parks are important assets and must be maintained like streets and sewers. These natural resources provide demonstrative environmental, economic, and social benefits to a community. While routine tree maintenance makes communities more resilient, the sheer volume of trees in a community make it difficult to maintain every tree. Many communities have implemented tree adoption programs to increase the likelihood of publicly owned trees surviving. These programs seek to provide essential waterings when trees most need it and reduce other tree maintenance costs. Adopt-A-Tree programs leverage volunteers to regularly inspect trees, perform routine maintenance, and report damaged trees or planting areas. In some cases, volunteers may even be asked to check on trees after a major storm. These simple actions help communities maximize their maintenance resources, prolong the life of trees, and mitigate the impact of extreme weather.
The Adopt-A-Tree solution delivers a set of capabilities that help local governments enlist community volunteers to perform routine tree maintenance, manage program participants, and monitor the performance of the adoption program.
