City of Tacoma

The City of Tacoma has partnered with the Tacoma Tree Foundation to launch Tacoma's Community Tree Program. The program will focus on increasing the urban tree canopy across Tacoma in an equitable manner through neighborhood-based planting projects and tree giveaways, as well as educational activities that highlight the social and environmental benefits of trees. Through the City's Neighborhood Planning Program, residents in Tacoma's McKinley Hill Neighborhood had identified their top priorities. These priorities include developing a neighborhood tree planting program which focuses on outreach and aims to achieve a 25 percent tree canopy cover in the business district and a 35 percent tree canopy cover in residential areas. In direct response, the Community Tree Program will offer 250 street trees to McKinley Hill residents this fall through Green Blocks: McKinley Hill. Requests from residents for free street trees in McKinley Hill project area will be accepted now through September 17. Additional information, including how to request free street trees is available at tacomatreefoundation.org/green-blocks-mckinley.
