Did you know that you can request a City tree to be planted in front of your residence? The Parks Department - Forestry Division plants trees twice per year, in the spring and fall, depending on species. Tree planting is carried out by a contractor approved by the City of Woodstock.
The tree will be planted on the City owned road allowance, in the most fitting location to each individual property. There is no cost to the homeowner for planting and maintenance of the tree. The City will perform all inspections, trimming and removals. The City does ask that the homeowner waters the tree during the summer months, for the first 2-3 years.

This may take approximately 2-4 weeks after your request has been submitted. Note: The City Arborist will have the final decision regarding all tree selections.
