Tree-Mendous Maryland helps schools, local governments, civic groups, and nonprofit organizations plant native trees on public land and community open space across Maryland. The program provides access to trees at reduced cost and supports planting projects at parks, schools, stream corridors, streetscapes, and municipal properties. Since its creation, Tree-Mendous has supported planting in more than 3,000 communities, parks, and schools statewide.
Trees for Public Land
Tree-Mendous Maryland provides native trees at reduced cost through a wholesale nursery partnership. The program serves local governments, schools, civic associations, watershed groups, and nonprofit organizations planting on public land or community open space.
Free seasonal delivery is available to several regional pickup locations each spring and fall. Direct delivery to planting sites may be available for an additional fee.
To request access to the order form, contact [email protected] with your organization name, project location, and a brief description of the proposed planting project.

Trees for Your Home
Tree-Mendous Maryland is limited to public land planting projects. Maryland residents looking to plant trees on private residential property may be eligible for assistance through the Marylanders Plant Trees program, which provides a coupon toward the purchase of a native tree from participating nurseries statewide.
