Cacapon Institute · Carla Hardy WV Project CommuniTree, Full Application

Welcome. Thank you for your interest in planting trees!

Carla Hardy WV Project CommuniTree provides trees at no cost for planting on public and community spaces including, but not limited to, parks, schools, streets, neighborhood common areas, faith based institutions, and civic organization. If you wish to plant on private land, businesses or residences, please follow our website’s PROTECT tab to CEM "Your BMP".

Since 2008, Carla Hardy WV Project CommuniTree has helped hundreds of groups, most of whom have never planted trees as a group before. We will provide you with the trees, materials, and technical assistance to design and carry out a successful tree planting.

To get started, we have some questions. If you do not know, say so. Do not worry, Cacapon Institute will help you find the answer.
