Good news for Cincinnati homeowners and nature lovers: the City of Cincinnati has opened applications for its Fall ReLeaf program, offering free trees to residents across the city.

The initiative, announced by the City of Cincinnati, invites community members to apply for a complimentary tree as part of the annual ReLeaf effort. Programs like Fall ReLeaf are designed to expand Cincinnati’s urban tree canopy, which helps cool neighborhoods, improve air quality, reduce stormwater runoff, and boost the overall beauty of local streets and yards.

Urban tree canopy programs have long been recognized as one of the most cost-effective ways cities can improve quality of life for residents. By distributing trees directly to households, the City ensures that the benefits of green infrastructure are spread throughout neighborhoods — not just in parks or commercial corridors.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a shade tree to your yard, a flowering tree along your sidewalk, or simply want to do something good for your block and the environment, this is a perfect opportunity. The program is open now, and interested Cincinnati residents are encouraged to apply before spots fill up.

To apply for your free tree through the City of Cincinnati’s Fall ReLeaf program, visit the City of Cincinnati’s official website for details on eligibility and the application process. Don’t miss your chance to put down roots — literally — and help make Cincinnati a greener, healthier place for everyone.
