If your neighborhood needs trees, rally your
neighbors. Get them excited about making
your neighborhood even better and sell
them on these ReLeaf Program benefits:
• Trees are sold to neighborhoods at
wholesale, approximately $50-$60 each.
• They will be planted and maintained by
the City of Oshkosh’s Forestry Division.

The ReLeaf Oshkosh Terrace Tree Program
was established in 2007 as a partnership
with the Oshkosh Southwest Rotary
Environmental Beautification Committee,
Progress Oshkosh’s Pride of Place
Committee and the City of Oshkosh.
Please help Oshkosh to continue its
Tree City U.S.A. status and to become a
more attractive place to live and grow.
Make it fun, but get organized!
• Select a Neighborhood Captain to
motivate and communicate with the
entire neighborhood.
• Work hand-in-hand with the City’s
Forestry Division to establish the project’s
scope, species and location selections,
and Spring or Fall planting dates.
• Collect tax-deductible payments from
participating neighbors for all trees prior
to planting.
• Consider a neighborhood planting
party. Make it an event so the entire
neighborhood gets involved! The
more neighborhood involvement, the
greater your project’s priority will
be with the Forestry Division.
Oshkoshalso offers a Memorial Tree Program to honor friends and family.Please contact the City Forester for more information.
