Tree Planting Program

Tree Planting Program 2025 Website Graphic (4)

The City of North Salt Lake is beginning a program to plant additional trees throughout the City. The intent is to increase the number of trees to enhance the look of our streets, help decrease carbon dioxide, and provide shade.

The City will facilitate the planting of trees either in public park strips or in front yards on private property by offering trees and associated installation to residents at a reduced cost. The City will pre-purchase trees and residents who wish to participate will be asked to fill out an application and pay 50% of the cost of the tree and installation. 

The North Salt Lake Tree Planting Program will have an annual budget approved by the City Council and trees will be planted on a first-come, first-served basis.
