Now is a great time to adopt-a-tree!
Water a Minneapolis tree and get brews for free.
(Over 9000 trees were planted this spring in Minneapolis by the Park & Rec Board)
Why Adopt A Tree?
Brewing a Better Forest has around 30,000 trees available for adoption today! Trees benefit from additional watering in the first few years after planting. Urban soils are often compacted and don't always hold a lot of water. Boulevards are narrow with limited rooting space. You can help! If you love cool shade, oxygen, and beautiful tree lined streets become an adopter today and get free beer. Wow!
We ask that you water your adopted tree weekly when soils get dry. We send out reminders so you know when your tree needs water. The next growing season you can adopt a tree again for more free brews. You must have a Minneapolis address to participate. You don't live or work in Minneapolis? We happily accept monetary donations to help fund our program.

Help BBF Get 2,020 Trees Adopted by 2020!
The Brewing a Better Forest team has a goal of getting 2,020 trees adopted by 2020! We started 2019 with over 1000 tree adopted. We want that number doubled or greater by the end of the year. So please help us crush this goal by checking out our updated tree inventory and adopting a tree today.
You can also help by spreading the word about BBF and our program. Let friends and neighbor's know they can simply water a tree and get a brew for free.

BBF Spring Tree Tagging Event
BBF and our volunteers took to biking Saturday June 1st to get the word out on tree watering and free beer. Northbound Smokehouse Brewpub was our host. There were over twenty volunteers participating. We tagged young trees on boulevards in south Minneapolis within a couple miles in all directions from the pub. After tagging we met back at Northbound for some killer BBQ, to socialize and a pint. We tagged almost 1000 trees and have seen a spike in adoptions! So thanks to Northbound, thanks to our volunteer, and thanks to all of our adopters who care for our urban forest. Water a tree, Brew for Free! Tell your neighbor's and friends today!!!
