Re-Leaf Coeur d'Alene offers residents free street trees!

Every year, the City of Coeur d'Alene uses street tree funds to purchase 100 trees to be planted within public rights-of-way at no cost to homeowners. These street trees are planted by city staff or contractors at residential locations in the city limits through the Re-Leaf Coeur d’Alene program. This program was created to enhance our neighborhoods and provide many street-side benefits, such as mitigating stormwater and reducing pollution.

Trees are available to homeowners who are willing to provide care, including watering and protecting them from mowers and trimmers. Those who are interested should contact the Urban Forester with the Coeur d'Alene Parks Department to sign up for a street tree. There is a limited number of trees, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The tree species available this year are:

•Forest Pansy Redbud

•Spring Snow Crabapple

•Chanticleer Pear

•Crimson Spire Oak

Don’t worry about the planting; trees will be planted by a contract tree crew in April or May. Beginning February 3rd, interested homeowners are encouraged to reply as soon as possible since there are limited trees. The deadline to apply for this program is March 13th, 2026.

More information is available online at www.cdaid.org/parks under urban forestry/Re-leaf. You can also call (208) 292-5766 or send an email to [email protected] to claim your tree today. These trees cannot be used to fulfill street tree requirements/for a refund.
