We engage communities and raise awareness about upcoming planting projects before we start digging. We aim to share details about our project plans, the many benefits of trees, and offer an opportunity for residents to ask questions or decline a tree.  First, BTT seeks out contact information for local community organizations and attends association meetings when possible. We send direct mailers to each home in the community via the postal service in advance of our projects. Finally, our outreach team goes door-to-door to speak with residents. If no one is home, we leave a door hanger.
