Help Us Achieve Our Tree Canopy Goals
In Bellevue, trees are an important part of what makes our us a “city in a park.” To keep our city green as our city grows, we encourage preserving mature trees and planting new trees. In addition to showing our city’s character, trees provide essential, measurable services to our community including cleaner air, stormwater management, summer cooling, reductions in crime, health benefits (like better mental and cardiovascular health), and more.
As we implement natural systems goals (40% canopy citywide) from our updated Environmental Stewardship Plan, we need your help. You are the experts in your neighborhood. Is there a street that would especially benefit from street trees in your neighborhood? Or maybe a school or park that needs more trees? Or maybe there is a tree with special meaning in your community? Are you interested in planting trees?
To better plant and preserve, we need your help!
Share with us:
Photos of trees you have planted
Locations to plant a tree
Heritage trees with a special significance
Your ideas and perceptions about trees with our survey
The Tree Giveaway Application is Now Open!
Bellevue residents are eligible to receive free trees this fall! We are offering 1,000 trees, including small and large evergreens, as well as trees that fruit or flower (species list). Residents are invited to apply for up to two trees each by Aug. 31.
Organizations in Bellevue are also eligible to apply for free trees, and can receive up to 20 for their property. Please complete the online training and organization application. If you are not sure of the right type of trees to request for your property or how many, reach out to us with questions.

We are looking for your input on how to engage our Bellevue community about trees.
The City of Bellevue plants hundreds of trees in parks, on city property, and along streets every year. More than 70% of land that could be planted is on residential property, so we need your help to meet our goals. In order to meet our goal of 40% tree canopy or 75,000 trees by 2050, we estimate that every household needs to plant a tree. This means we need to preserve the trees we already have too.
We’ve heard from you that the Bellevue community cares deeply for trees and the environment but that many could use some more information about trees and how to care for them. We will use the information in this survey to guide our future programs, including education, tree planting, and volunteer opportunities.
Nos gustaría que nos dé su opinión sobre cómo involucrar a nuestra comunidad de Bellevue en el tema de los árboles.
Todos los años, la ciudad de Bellevue planta cientos de árboles en parques, propiedades de la ciudad y a lo largo de las calles. Más del 70 % de los terrenos que podrían ser plantados son propiedad residencial; por lo tanto, necesitamos su ayuda para cumplir nuestros objetivos. Para cumplir nuestra meta del 40 % de dosel arbóreo o 75 000 árboles para el 2050, calculamos que se necesita que cada casa plante un árbol. Además, esto significa que debemos preservar los árboles que ya tenemos.
Hemos escuchado de usted que la comunidad de Bellevue cuida profundamente los árboles y el medioambiente, pero a muchos les vendría bien un poco más de información sobre los árboles y cómo cuidarlos. Usaremos la información de esta encuesta para guiarnos en nuestros próximos programas, incluso oportunidades educativas, de plantación y voluntariado.
