Replacement Tree Program
Spokane Urban Forestry is partnering with the Spokane Conservation District to increase street trees planted within the City of Spokane. Together we are looking for funding for replacement trees and need your help in getting our list of locations for these plantings up and running. Whether you have recently had trees removed due to poor health or due to a recent infrastructure project, or you just have enough space in your planting strip and would really like to have a street tree, we would like to know!
In order to qualify for a street tree you must have the adequate room in your planting strip (i.e. the distance measured in feet and inches between the curb and sidewalk). Our Approved Street Tree List and our Arboricultural Specifications can give you more information but here is the quick look:
Each of the following tree class designations are approved for the respective planting strips:
· Class I: Trees for 5’ planting strip and under power lines regardless of planting strip width
· Class II: Trees for 5’ - 8’ planting strip width
· Class III: Trees for 8’ - 12’ planting strip width
· Class IV: Trees for 12’+ planting strip width
We would also like to know the neighborhood that you live in. If you are unsure please visit the Spokane Neighborhood Services website to find out. Sign up and get on the list!
