According to Springwise.com, the Department of Transportation in the District of Columbia is now allowing citizens to adopt a tree. The program is called Canopy Keepers and uses a novel high-tech approach to sign up gardeners. As the city plants new trees, it tags them with a QR code. Passersby scan the code with their smart phone and this takes them to a web site where they can sign up to adopt that particular tree. Canopy Keepers receive a free watering bucket in return for their help watering the tree.
