Get your free trees in Coeur d'Alene

The city of Coeur d'Alene has a limited number of free street trees that need good homes through the Re-Leaf program. 

Trees are provided to homeowners who are willing to provide care, including watering and protecting from mowers and trimmers. The tree species available include Forest Pansy Redbud, Spring Snow Crabapple, Chanticleer Pear and Crimson Spire Oak.

"Trees are planted at no cost to the homeowner to enhance our neighborhoods and provide many street-side benefits such as mitigating storm water and reducing pollution," a press release said.

Homeowners may contact the Coeur d'Alene Parks Department and sign up for a street tree starting Wednesday. The deadline to apply is March 21. The trees will be planted starting in April.
