Street Right-of-Way Tree Planting and Permits
馃嚭馃嚫 Kansas City, MO, United States 路 Kansas City Parks and Recreation, Forestry and Conservation
Low-cost trees (free when grant funds allow) planted in the street right-of-way, and a free permit to plant your own
KC Parks Forestry and Conservation manages trees in the right-of-way along Kansas City streets and boulevards. Planting funds are supplemented by grants and partner organizations to provide low-cost trees for residents who want trees in the right-of-way; when funds are not available for your council district you are put on a waiting list. Foresters also issue free permits to residents who want to plant, prune or remove right-of-way trees themselves.
Who qualifies
Kansas City, Missouri residents with a plantable right-of-way strip along their street. "Although funds may not always be available for a specific council district, the staff will place your name on a waiting list for when funds do become available." Permits cost nothing.
How to apply
Contact Forestry through the MyKCMO mobile app, by calling 311, or by email through the KC Parks forestry page; the page also links the City's Free Trees page (kcmo.gov, Neighborhood Services) and the KCMO Tree Planting Specifications. Ask for a planting permit if you want to plant your own tree.
