Fund to Reforest Bay Village
Between 2011 and 2017, the City of Bay Village lost 8% of its tree canopy, a rate higher than the county average, according to the Cuyahoga County Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Update 2019. This fund is an attempt to slow that tree canopy loss in Bay Village by funding new trees on public property. Please donate to The Bay Village Green Team's Fund to Reforest Bay Village. Your entire donation will directly purchase native trees to plant in public areas throughout the City of Bay Village. The city's cost per tree is @$260 per tree, however any donation amount is appreciated and will be combined with other donations to purchase trees. Donations are transferred to the city by The Bay Village Green Team once per year minimum in a public city council meeting. You can donate through one of two methods below:

Update: The City of Bay Village is unable to utilize the 2023 donations from The Fund to Reforest Bay Village this season because they are at capacity for planting trees with grants obtained from the county. Funds collected this year will be disbursed in 2024 to the City of Bay Village and will still be used to plant canopy trees in the 2024 season. Thank you to all who have donated and who continue to donate!
