Tree Planting Request

Please explain where you would want the tree planted:

The Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) does not accept tree planting requests. Parks manages the planting and care of all street trees on the public right-of-way and plants new street trees as part of a citywide initiative to green the sidewalks of New York City.

Parks plants new trees on a neighborhood planting cycle, where they survey, inspect, and plant trees sequentially. Through the Neighborhood Tree Planting Program, NYC Parks foresters will be conducting tree removal, stump removal, and planting everywhere possible and closing all unplantable tree beds prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first.

You can check the Street Tree Planting page to see when your neighborhood will be planted
