Free Yard Trees!

Are you interested in a free yard tree? 

City of Corvallis municipal code limits Urban Forestry staff to planting trees in public right of ways, parks, and natural areas. Some right of ways, however, can’t support trees due to conflicts with existing infrastructure or too small of a right of way (under 4 feet wide). In an effort to expand the urban canopy in Corvallis, staff are working with the local Civic Beautification and Urban Forestry Advisory group, CBUF to create a new city program to get free trees to homeowners on private property! 

How it works:

1.   CBUF volunteers will do an inspection of your right of way to determine your eligibility.

2.   Help you select the most appropriate species for your yard from a curated list .

3.   Order and plant the tree- at no cost to you!

4.   Provide a watering bag, stakes, and deer protection (as needed). 

5.   All you have to do is water it, each summer for the first 3 years. 

6.   CBUF volunteers will provide additional information as needed for establishment care and maintenance.
