Tree Coupon Program

Tacoma Public Utilities is launching the Tree Coupon Program on October 1, 2024, designed to encourage residents to plant trees and contribute to urban forestry. The initiative provides financial incentives in the form of coupons to support tree planting, thereby enhancing ecosystem services and promoting environmental sustainability in Tacoma, Washington. This program reflects a proactive approach by the local government to address urban environmental challenges and improve the quality of life for its citizens. By engaging the community in such efforts, Tacoma aims to foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment and encourage sustainable habits. The program is particularly significant as urban areas face increasing pressures from climate change and urbanization, making green initiatives essential for maintaining ecological balance.

Tacoma Public Utilities emphasizes the importance of public utility services in fostering a healthier urban landscape. The Tree Coupon Program not only aims to beautify the city but also strives to improve air quality and support biodiversity. This initiative represents a collaborative effort between the government and residents to create a greener, more sustainable Tacoma.
