Here’s how to participate:
St. Louis Park is partnering with Tree Trust to offer a new, full-service tree purchasing and planting option for residential property owners. If you would like additional trees on your property but would like assistance with transporting, finding a location, and planting, this offering may be a good option for you. Once you place an order, a Tree Trust employee will be in contact with you closer to planting time in the spring with next steps.
**Discounts are available based on location and ash tree removal. To see whether discounts are available to you, type your address in our interactive map to see if you fall in an Environmental Justice Priority area (Price $35) or if you have recently removed an ash tree from your private property (Price $115). If your tree was removed by a private contractor (not the City of St. Louis Park), send a copy of the invoice to city_trees@treetrust.org to verify within 48 hours of placing your order. **

New This Year:
The City of St. Louis Park has a NEW program that provides tree care services at no cost to income-qualified residential property owners. Tree care can include ash tree removal, ash tree injections, tree planting, and tree pruning. Visit www.stlouisparkmn.gov/shade-slp-plus for more information.
This program was made possible through the ReLeaf Grant from the MNDNR.
Interactive Map:
Search your address in this interactive map to find out if you are in an Environmental Justice Priority area in St. Louis Park. These areas have been given higher priority in efforts to alleviate the financial burden in communities that face the compounded effects of environmental pollution and low-canopy coverage, as well as social, political, and economic vulnerability. This map also includes ash tree removals since January 1st, 2020, due to EAB, done by the City of St. Louis Park on private properties. For residents that have had an ash tree removed, a discount is available to help replace the canopy you just lost. If you had the removal done by a private contractor, do not fret; all you need to do is provide proof of this removal and the discount will be made available to you, failure in provide proof will just result in the order being refunded.
The interactive map uses data from the Metropolitan Council Growing Shade application , which integrates demographic data from multiple sources to help communities track where tree canopies are thin, and then prioritize where communities can get the most impact from new planting.
