According to NYC311, Parks does not accept new tree planting requests from individuals. Property owners who want a tree sooner can apply for a permit to plant one at their own expense, and residents can get a free tree for a yard through Parks' Community Tree Giveaways.","eligibility":"No resident request route. Planting locations are chosen by Parks and are not guaranteed, since underground infrastructure, intersections, hydrants or overhead wires can rule out a site.","how_to_apply":"Not applicable; Parks does not accept new planting requests. Use 311 only to report the condition or location of a tree planted less than a year ago. To plant your own street tree, apply for a tree work permit from NYC Parks.","url":"https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01895","source_url":"https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01895","season":null,"program_status":"closed","lat":40.7128,"lng":-74.006,"data_note":"Listed so residents know the 311 street-tree request route is not available in NYC.
