1500 Trees for Life continues to add new public sites throughout Licking County for tree plantings. The organizations below have generously partnered with us to offer public land for plantings. They have each worked closely with us to determine the best native trees for planting based on soil quality and land use, and are committed to maintaining the plantings. If you would like to suggest or offer future planting locations, please contact us at 1500trees@gmail.com
