In December of 2025, the late Barry Grossbach made a generous contribution to UCD’s Green City Works landscaping subsidiary to support tree planting throughout the Spruce Hill neighborhood. We now invite residents of Spruce Hill to share input on where these trees should be planted.

We are looking to plant as many as possible by June 30th, 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. Click the link below to read more and apply for a free street tree in Spruce Hill before the May 22nd deadline: https://www.universitycity.org/news/live-in-spruce-hill-apply-for-a-free-street-tree/
