Noted | Thank you for your interest in increasing the tree canopy in the City of Boston! In order for the City of Boston's Urban Forestry Division to ensure the success of our new street trees, we require the property owner who directly abuts the sidewalk where the new pit and tree are being requested to be involved in the conversation about a new tree. Therefore, we ask that any New Tree Request for a new pit and tree comes from the actual abutting property owner, and then we can then inspect that location for tree planting. If you are the property owner, please make a new 311 New Tree Request and include your name and contact information. That way we can confirm property ownership. If you know the property owner of this address, you can ask them to submit a New Tree Request with their contact information and we will be able to inspect the location and discuss any questions that may arise. New Tree Requests can be made via the 311 app, by calling 311, or by contacting the Urban Forestry Division by sending an email to trees@boston.gov or calling 617-635-8733. The best way to get information about Boston's street trees is by going to boston.gov/trees and reading about how to properly request a new street tree, to submit tree maintenance requests, and learn how to care for young street trees. Thank you again for your interest in Boston's urban forest!
