Baby trees in D.C. are now equipped with QR codes to help would-be parents adopt them.
Residents can now scan the QR tags hanging on the newly planted street trees with their smart phones to adopt a tree and enroll in the city's Canopy Keepers program.
The District Department of Transportation is piloting the tree QR tags in Adams Morgan, Brookland, Fairlawn and Tenleytown.
Tree adopters will receive a free watering tub to place around the tree and fill up once a week.
DDOT planted 3,900 new trees this year. The agency waters all of the trees periodically, but relies on the public to provide weekly care.
Residents can also adopt trees by calling 311 or visiting here.
