Welcome to Barnstable’s Greening the Gateway Cities  Program Project Page

The Town was awarded a grant through the Greening the Gateway Cities Grant Program to plant 2,400 trees in the community’s Environmental Justice areas. All properties within the Planting Zone including private property owners, are eligible to sign up for free trees.

By increasing tree canopy the community will realize numerous  benefits including beautification of neighborhoods, schools and public places, improved air quality, increased wildlife habitat, reduced noise, and increased shade which will maximize energy savings.
