The Fall River Street Tree Planting Program offered flowering trees to residents for planting in the city free of charge on October 17, 2004, at an adopt-a-tree project. Residents agreed to plant the trees in their yards and provide maintenance care. Trees included Cleveland pears, kousa dogwoods and weeping pink cherry trees. The Street Tree Planting Program also provided  voluntary tree steward training this fall at Bristol Community College.
