Please complete the following Property Owner Permission statements and Maintenance Agreements below.

I certify that I am the property owner at the site at which these trees are being requested.

I give permission to OKC Beautiful, a nonprofit organization located at 3535 N Classen Boulevard, and its representatives, partners, and volunteers, to enter my property for the limited purpose of participating in Tree OKC programming. Such participation may include, but is not limited to, surveying the property in order to locate appropriate planting sites, delivering supplies, digging holes, and planting trees.

I agree to allow agents of OKIE811 to enter my property in order to mark utility lines, so as to ensure the safety of the volunteers and the proper placement of the tree, and understand that OKC Beautiful will submit a utility locate request on my behalf.

I understand that a representative of OKC Beautiful or one of its chosen partners will work with me to determine the best planting location for my tree(s), and that the chosen location(s) is/are not to be changed once decided upon and marked, unless safety dictates otherwise as determined by OKC Beautiful.

I promise to water and care for my tree after it is planted, as instructed by OKC Beautiful and understand any future care is the responsibility of me as the property owner and OKC Beautiful is not responsible for any tree removal should survival be affected.
