Trees for Residents Program

The City’s Trees for Residents program is designed to empower and assist residents to enhance the tree and plant cover on their own properties. As part of the program, City of Belmont residents can request one free tree to plant on their property.
Applications for the 2025 Trees for Residents program have closed.
For more information on the program or for help with your submission, please contact our Parks, Leisure and Environment team on
