This year, our tree team planted around 420 new trees throughout the City! If you’re curious what type of tree is near your house, the list is below. There are about 25-30 trees remaining in the nursery which will be dug and planted in the spring as they are not recommended for fall transplanting.

These additions help us reach our overall tree canopy goals and will mitigate the inevitable loses due to the emerald ash borer invasion. We’ve planted a diverse array of specimens to prevent the potential loses to our street trees from future blights or pests.

In planning for the upcoming loss of ash trees, many of the trees listed below were interplanted among existing ash (similar to what we did in the Appletree point neighborhood this past spring); Sterling Place and Alexis Drive, Clover Lane, Lori Lane, and Southwind off of Flynn Ave. To date we have planted replacements for nearly 25% of our existing greenbelt ash and will continue to implement this approach in areas of the city were space permits over the next few years.

Thanks once again for the great partnership with Branch Out Burlington! (BOB) to help grow our urban canopy.
