Street Tree Planting Project – Bremerton Ave. NE

The Urban Forestry Program will be re-planting 27 new trees throughout The Orchards neighborhood. Our planting project is anticipated to start November 10 and end November 14.

Two different species will be planted to increase shade coverage, reduce air pollution, slow stormwater runoff, sequester carbon, provide habitat for wildlife, and increase the genetic diversity of Renton’s urban forest.

These trees have been selected due to their hardiness and ability to adapt to the changing climate. Additionally, planting these trees will help the City of Renton reach its goal of 30% canopy coverage by the year 2032.

For more information about Urban Forestry’s future goals, see the 2022-2032 Urban Forest Management Plan.

The trees will be watered and maintained by the Urban Forestry Program. If you notice a damaged or dead city tree, submit a service request through Renton Responds.
