I Get a Street Tree?

Based on old district outlines, the TAB has created a plan for the entire Village, combining John Nolen’s vision with modern urban forestry best practices. Each street now has a designated tree to be planted in the Village right of way (ROW), often the space between the curb and sidewalk. Streets with no sidewalk still have ROW space that is villageowned and is plantable with street trees.

Many residents have inquired with the TAB about the long-vacant ROW space in front of their home or the fresh loss of a beloved street tree, and how and when they can get a new tree. Given this demand, the TAB began formulating a plan to reserve 25 percent of a given year’s planting sites for resident requests.

Residents can fill out an online form indicating that they would like a street tree when their area’s planting time comes around.

District 3 will be planted this fall, and District 4 will be planted in 2025, but any resident can get on the list. Each entry is time-stamped and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. To fill out the form, follow this link: https://shorturl.at/qTtIV

Seventy-five percent of planting sites for each year will be designated by the TAB based on need, but the remaining 25 percent could be anywhere in that district, based on resident requests. Follow the link to get yourself on the resident request list. After all, your street tree could be one of the next to bring life and color to the next fall season!
