The city of Chamblee and Keep Chamblee Beautiful will kick off the new Front Yard Tree Program 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 18 at the North DeKalb Senior Center, 3393 Malone Dr. in Chamblee.

The new Front Yard Tree Program allows homeowners to apply and to pay a $25 application fee to have a tree installed in the front yard by Trees Atlanta. If you don’t have a yard or don’t have room for a new tree—no problem. Professionals from Trees Atlanta, the Georgia Forestry Commission and local arborist firm Arbormedics will discuss the benefits of trees, will provide tips for homeowners to keep their trees healthy and will answer any tree-related questions. City staff also will be on hand to talk about city tree regulations.
