AB  - City residents who planted their own street trees were more satisfied with the outcome than residents whose trees were planted by the city or an outside agency. Within the circumstances described in the study, those residents who paid for their trees were more satisfied with the outcomes than those who received them without extra charge from the city or from a voluntary organization. The results underscore the importance of active resident involvement in tree-planting programs.
