Apply for 2025 Shared Cost Parkway Tree Program


With the start of a new year comes a new opportunity for you to add a parkway tree in front of your property. The City's Forestry Division is now accepting applications for the 2025 Shared Cost Parkway Tree Planting Program. As we continue seeking ways to encourage sustainable actions in our community, this year's program will provide shared-cost funding for up to 200 new trees on a first-come, first-served basis.

Open now through Feb. 28, 2025, this program allows property owners to pay $95 per tree to have City crews plant a new tree in the parkway adjacent to their property. Property owners can select from up to 12 species. The City's Forestry Division will plant the trees in the spring, weather permitting.

To participate, submit an application to the City's Forestry Division. More information is available in the application packet. Applications will be accepted through Feb. 28, 2025 or once the program maximum is reached.
