We’re bringing street trees to the South Tacoma neighborhood in October 2026. Residents in the designated project area of South Tacoma can sign up to receive free trees for their RIGHT-OF-WAY (ROW), along with other supporting services.

Green Blocks: South Tacoma project area falls within Very High to High Tree Planting Priority census blocks. Planting trees in these areas helps to manage stormwater pollution, bolster community resilience, improve public health outcomes, and enhance overall quality of life.

SafeTREE Routes to School — The City of Tacoma is partnering with Tacoma Tree Foundation on a grant-funded tree planting project focused on improving walking routes to school in select neighborhoods. By planting trees along suggested Safe Routes to School (SRTS) walking routes, the project aims to increase tree canopy near schools, improve neighborhood safety, and create healthier, cooler places for students and families to walk, bike, and roll to school and around their neighborhoods!

Visit our program website to request trees until August 17th.
