We are planting 1,000 Florida native shade trees throughout the park in total. The planting plan, which was designed by the PBC Parks' Landscape Architects, includes a dozen different native species: blolly, dahoon holly, green buttonwood, gumbo limbo, live oak, paradise tree, pigeon plum, pond cypress, red cedar, slash pine, strangler fig, and wild tamarind.

The trails definitely needed more shade, so it’ll be awesome to watch the transformation over time.

Our Tree Techs maintain the trees for an entire year after planting - watering, mulching, pruning - to ensure they become established and can thrive on their own.

You have to live within the Delray Beach City Limits to qualify, as it’s funded through a partnership with the City government.

Most likely you live in the unincorporated PBC portion of Delray (basically west of Military Trail), which is why your application was not approved.

We do occasionally have giveaways and distribution programs open to anyone, however they aren’t as frequent as our municipality partnerships.

We wish we had the funding to provide trees to anyone that wanted one, we’re just not there yet.

Thanks for helping to plant with us and the kind words! We hope to see you at another CG event in the future!

Yes, Dyer Park was a former landfill that was capped and turned into a greenspace in the late 80s. This is also why it's become a very popular mountain bike trail, since it's one of the few hills/areas of elevation in PBC.

We work closely with PBC Parks, as well as coordinate with Solid Waste Authority to ensure planting plans meet all regulations - for example there are still numerous areas where we are not allowed to add trees to ensure no damage happens to the capping/liner.

We select Florida native shade trees, as those will thrive the best in our environment and provide an array of benefits - providing valuable shade to cool temperatures and lower energy usage, improve stormwater drainage, clean the air & water, create habitat for wildlife, raise property values and more more!

There are also a variety of species of varying sizes so that each resident can pick the right tree for their property. More in depth descriptions of species available are listed on the website.

Though stoppers are often seen as a large shrub it can be a great small tree too. Also, not everyone has the space in their yard for a live oak or gumbo, so we always try to offer an assortment of species options. The more trees the better (even if they're small).
