Enhance BHA’s Canopy by Sponsoring a Tree!
BHA partnered with the city in early 2023 to plant 90 trees in the easements along our streets. In accordance with the city’s guidelines, tree species were selected for best long-term success with smaller, understory trees planted under electrical lines and larger, canopy trees planted where they have room to spread out.
Although the city donated the trees, each retailing for $400+, BHA covered the cost of getting them planted. Despite generous donations from BHA residents we are still a bit short. In addition, some of the trees didn’t make it through the winter and need to be replaced this fall.
Please give some thought to the impact 90 trees will have on our streets over the coming decades and consider making a donation below.
$150 - Tree Hero
$100 - Canopy Champion
$50 - Arbor Advocate

Bonnycastle
The best neighborhood in Louisville? Our neighbors think so, and work hard to make Bonnycastle wonderful.
Bonnycastle Homestead is one of the neighborhoods comprising Louisville's Highlands area. Our borders extend from Bardstown Road to Cherokee Park, and from Eastern Parkway to Speed Avenue.
The neighborhood contains homes of varied sizes and styles, and is interspersed with multi-family buildings. Most structures were constructed from the 1890's through the 1920s. While the area experienced some decline in the 1950's and 1960's, dedicated community members helped restore vitality in subsequent decades. Today, the neighborhood is strong, and neighbors take pride in the community we maintain together. Residents and visitors enjoy tree-shaded streets, historic architecture, cultural offerings of the greater Highlands area, proximity of Cherokee Park, and the community of friendly neighbors.
