Shoreline residents Just one week left to sign-up for a FREE tree

Shoreline residents have until 11:59 PM on August 31, 2025, to apply for a free tree through the city’s Communi-trees program. The initiative assists residents in selecting appropriate trees for their spaces and offers planting help, contingent on volunteer availability. Additionally, participants will receive education on tree care and maintenance, emphasizing the importance of watering and nurturing their trees. Urban forestry initiatives like this are vital for enhancing local ecosystems and improving air quality. The Communi-trees program reflects a growing trend among cities to engage residents in environmental stewardship.

By increasing tree canopies, municipalities can combat urban heat and enhance community aesthetics. Residents interested in applying can visit ShorelineWA. gov/Communitrees for more information. This program not only promotes greenery but also fosters community spirit and involvement.
