ReLeaf DeKalb has already launched this year’s planting season by planting 214 trees along public rights-of-way.
DeKalb County recently began its second year of ReLeaf DeKalb.
ReLeaf DeKalb II encompasses two components: residential front yards and public properties.
Planting trees increases DeKalb’s tree canopy and enhances ecosystem benefits, according to a DeKalb County statement.
Public property tree plantings are a good way to acquire community service hours, the statement added.
