Urban Forestry Planting 1,300 Trees in Spring 2024

Urban Forestry Announces Spring and Fall Planting Goals

Urban Forestry’s spring planting season began today, Monday, April 8, 2024.

Crews will be planting 1,374 trees from 27 different species along City of Madison streets this spring.

The variety of species was selected by the City’s trained arborists to ensure a diverse and resilient canopy that can thrive in our urban landscape, benefitting us all.

The spring planting will occur throughout the city, including on the isthmus. 

Overall, the spring planting is expected to continue through the end of the month.

Upon the conclusion of the spring planting season, Urban Forestry crews then return to pruning and other tree care operations.  In the fall, there will be a second round of planting.

New Tree Care

If you were one of the fortunate residents to receive a tree in the right of way space in front of your home, please be sure you are following the new tree care advice on the City of Madison Urban Forestry website, and please help keep the young tree watered.
