Do I need a permit to plant my own tree in the parkway?

Yes, this is another free, no-fee permit.  It helps ensure that the tree planted is in an appropriate location away from underground utilities or overhead wires.  It also helps to ensure the tree planted is an approved species, as approved by the Tree Commission. This has been deemed important to help prevent single species infestations and devastation.
