Neighborhood Tree Planting Program

New street trees are planted on a cyclical basis—prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Parks does not take requests for new street trees; alternatively, each neighborhood will be inspected and planted sequentially. NYC Parks’ Neighborhood Tree Planting program aims to plant the entire city on a 9-year cycle.

Maps of our implementation goals group the planned 9-year neighborhood planting cycle into 3 phases, representing the approximate areas we intend to plant during each phase. All plantings are within the City-owned public right-of-way.

Please see our 9-year cycle maps and the transition plan (2025-2026) below, which illustrates the areas where trees will be planted during the transition phase leading to full implementation of the Neighborhood Tree Planting Program.

We will complete the current two year planting cycle then transition to the new Neighborhood Planting Program.

Once the transition planting phase (2025- 2026) is completed, we will group the neighborhood planting cycle into three stages for street tree planting. We aim to plant all sections of the city during this 9 year time frame.
