Tree Planting on Public Right-of-Ways
All tree plantings on public right-of-ways require a permit. An application for
a planting permit must be filed with the Forestry Department prior to planting.
This permit has no cost and helps to ensure that all plantings conform with
current regulations and that appropriate species are selected. Applications can
be mailed or emailed to the Forestry Department. Please print a copy of the
application for your records.
