Community Tree Programs
To get a head start on meeting the goals in the upcoming Urban Forest Plan, as well as our city's existing Climate Action Plan, they are also launching exciting new programs to help grow our urban forest. These Community Tree Programs offer something for everyone including tree coupons to reduce the costs of planting trees on private property, grants for neighborhood tree planting projects, partnerships with local organizations, free tree giveaways at local events, youth education, and volunteer opportunities. By increasing our tree canopy cover, we're not just planting trees, we're investing in a greener, more vibrant Bellingham.
