300 tree tags organized in 30 seconds

This video, produced by Program Director Brighton West, shows the attention Friends of Trees gives to every tree it sells.

Usually, sorting 300 tree tags takes much longer than 26 seconds.

Every street and yard tree sold by Friends of Trees receives a custom made tree tag that names the species and provides instructions on care-taking.

The green tags are a common sight around town and are also a business sponsor perk. If a business chooses to sponsor a Friends of Trees planting, all of the tree tags set into the neighborhoods receive a sticker with that sponsor’s name and logo.

Banjo music and overalls are optional when sorting tree tags; a cup of coffee is mandatory.
