Alamo's Boulevard of Trees

The Boulevard of Trees Project, which was headed by the late Andrew H. Young, strove to beautify Alamo by planting trees along Danville Boulevard. The project was active from 1987-2005 with the mission of enhancing and preserving the rural character of Alamo.

The original brochure for the Alamo Boulevard of Tree Project described the effort as "Dedicated to replanting the once beautiful natural tree canopy the entire length of Danville Boulevard in Alamo."

Alamo residents, along with groups and organizations, were offered the opportunity to purchase trees as a dedication. A single tree could be purchased for $100. A single tree including maintenance for 3 years could be purchased for $250. Trees could also be dedicated to a loved one or in memory of a person.
