Branch Out Burlington

Branch Out Burlington Branch Out Burlington is a volunteer-run non-profit organization that helps plant and care for the trees of Burlington.

The Burlington Community Tree Nursery was established in May 2001 to provide a sustained source of low-cost trees to plant along Burlington's streets by Branch Out Burlington! The nursery is located on land contributed by the University of Vermont at the Horticulture Research Center on Green Mountain Drive in South Burlington. Personnel from the Center assist with preparing the planting beds and i

rrigation. A group of volunteers gathers in early May each year, to plant saplings that will be transplanted to the streets of Burlington in 2-3 years. Usually 90-120 trees are planted out into the nursery each year, purchased from a commercial nursery as bare-root saplings.
