Urban Forestry Planting 850 Trees in Fall 2025
posted
Urban Forestry’s fall planting season will begin on Monday, October 20, 2025.
Crews will be planting approximately 850 trees from 28 different species along City of Madison streets. Planting is a team effort that takes a significant amount of Urban Forestry staff so the trees are planted as efficiently as possible.
The species for the planting sites were selected by the City’s trained arborists. Trees are picked to ensure a diverse and resilient canopy that is able to withstand challenges brought on by our changing climate and our urban environment.
The fall planting work will occur all throughout Madison, and the work will continue into November.
Upon the conclusion of the fall planting, Urban Forestry crews then return to pruning and other tree care operations through the winter months.
In the spring of 2026, there will be a new round of tree planting.
New Tree Care in the Fall
Follow the new tree care advice on the City of Madison Urban Forestry website.
In the fall, it is important that you continue to water the tree until the ground freezes.
You can help your tree survive by keeping it properly watered before winter hits.
