TreesLouisville providing 1500 free trees to Jefferson County residents

TreesLouisville has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to provide 1500+ trees to Jefferson County residents since January. We are currently in our second round of the Community Canopy program which allows residents to enter their address, outline their house, and choose the right tree for their home to maximize the benefits of a healthy ecosystem such as lowering utility bills, managing stormwater runoff, and improving air quality. Your tree will either be shipped to you later this Fall or larger sizes will be available at Against the Grain Brewery on October 20 as part of our first annual Twigs and Swigs Celebration or Americana Community Center on November 9. 

Louisville loses around 820 acres of tree canopy on a yearly basis and this is one of the ways we try to restore tree canopy across the county. The program is available to all residents of Jefferson County but residents in the following zip codes will be able to reserve two trees because certain areas of the county have been affected more heavily and we want to improve our lowest canopy areas more quickly: 

40118 40202 40203 40208 40209 40210 40211 40212 40213 40214 40215 40216 40217 40218 40219 40220 40228 40229 40258 40272 40291

Thanks for your participation and happy planting!

LouieConnect

Louisville non-profits have launched a new website to help connect people in need of food, shelter, and more.  Metro United Way and the Family Scholar House partnered to create LouieConnect, modeling it on a similar site created in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  When someone uses LouieConnect, the web-based app asks for basic information and then lists applicable resources nearby — from food pantries to shelters to career centers to financial literacy programs.
