In 2009, Trees Greenville received a $10,000 NeighborWoods grant to plant 100 shade and street trees in the Freetown Community and 50 shade and street trees in the Brutontown Community. These efforts contributed to the continuing revitalization of these neighborhoods, where all homes are owner-occupied but tree canopy cover is low.
