Program cultivates trees along streets
City-hired crews have begun to plant trees in town areas.
Workers with Arbor Master Tree and Landscape of Shawnee will be planting trees through March as part of the city’s Master Street Tree Program.
The program requires that the city plant a new tree for every 40 feet of new street constructed. Once the trees are planted in the city right-of-way, adjacent homeowners are asked to care for the tree. Parks and Recreation officials will be notifying homeowners of how to best care for the trees.
The program is funded through building permit fees that homebuilders must pay when constructing new homes.
