About

Shoreline residents can receive a FREE tree through Communi-trees! Communi-trees is the City’s newest program to grow and maintain trees for a healthy Shoreline! Trees provide a wide range of benefits. They clean our air, create shade, relieve stress, and make our community more beautiful. 

When you sign up for Communi-trees, you receive: 

• One free tree per household 
• Help picking the right tree for your space 
• A free watering bag and mulch for your tree 
• Training on tree planting and care 
• Planting assistance for individuals with disabilities * 
• Ongoing tree care reminders 

*Subject to volunteer availability. 

Full details on eligibility requirements, available tree species, and more can be found at shorelinewa.gov/communitrees.  

Sign Up By August 15! 

You can sign up for your free tree starting July 15! We are accepting sign-ups through August 15 at 11:59 p.m. It does not matter when you complete the sign-up form during this time period, so long as you do so no later than August 15; if we receive more signups than we have trees available, we will choose sign-up requests at random. Some priority will be given to neighborhoods identified as having low-tree canopy or increased heat impacts from climate change. This method allows us to equitably distribute trees throughout the City and provide the greatest public benefit.
