Free Street Tree Program

Every year, the Susquehanna Township Shade Tree Commission purchases and plants a limited number of street trees in residential neighborhoods.  A street tree is a tree planted along sidewalks and other public rights-of-way.  Street trees are an important part of making our Township cleaner and greener. Planted in sidewalks and other public rights-of-way, street trees beautify neighborhoods, reduce energy costs, and clean our air. 

Free trees are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  However, priority will be given to areas that will benefit from adding a shade tree.  Trees will be planted in October, free of charge, by the Township Shade Tree Commission and Highway Department.  The application deadline is May 1st to apply for a free street tree. Only trees that are identified on the Township's Approved Street Tree list are selected for planting by the Shade Tree Commission.  Requests for trees located outside of the public right-of-way will not be considered.
