NYC Street Tree Planting (Neighborhood Tree Planting Program)
馃嚭馃嚫 New York, NY, United States 路 NYC Department of Parks & Recreation via NYC311
No individual requests accepted; Parks plants street trees block by block, prioritizing heat-vulnerable neighborhoods
NYC Parks plants street trees on a cyclical basis through its Neighborhood Tree Planting Program, surveying whole blocks and planting everywhere possible, with heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. 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.
Who qualifies
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.
