Forestry Services’ spring caliper tree planting program begins this week and will run until mid-June, weather permitting. This includes tree planting in parks, at City facilities, and along streets through Forestry Services’ lifecycle tree planting programs as well as some projects for the Schoolyard Tree Planting Grant Program. (Please note that the list of locations does not include trees planted by other City Services, through developments projects, or by applicants as a condition of tree removal permits.)
Where a tree planting is scheduled on City property adjacent to a residence, as part of our Trees in Trust Program, individual notifications will be provided to the resident in advance of planting. Residents should also expect to see utility locate flags and paint on the ground that should not be removed or mowed until planting has been completed.
