CINCINNATI — For almost 40 years, Cincinnati Parks has been adding more trees to the city's 52 neighborhoods.

It's called the Fall ReLeaf Program , focusing on growing the canopy coverage of the city by giving away thousands of free trees in over 40 species.

Applications opened Saturday, Sept. 14, for 20 different neighborhoods . These neighborhoods — including Camp Washington, Queensgate, Over-the-Rhine and Corryville — were noted in a 2021 Tree Canopy Census as having below 40% tree canopy coverage, according to the city.

In addition to providing shade, more tree canopy coverage helps improve the impact of air pollution and the urban heat island effect.
