What kind of trees are available? Can I choose what species of tree is planted?

Each year, the Town has several varieties of shade and ornamental trees available for planting through the Front Yard Tree Planting Program. The availability of particular species is dependent on nursery stock. If you have a preference of species for your Front Yard tree, please let us know in the Application (there is a representative list of species available for view under the previous tab called "Example Tree Species"). If the proposed site is conducive to tree planting, we will do our best to accommodate your request or work with you to determine an appropriate species for the specific site.
