Free trees!

Applications are open until January 14, 2026

Arlington residents can get FREE native trees planted on their property through EcoAction Arlington’s tree planting program. All private property owners and managers of apartments, condos, and places of worship have an opportunity to receive a free native tree, which will be planted on their property during the spring 2026 planting season.

We have a goal to increase the tree canopy in Arlington. Trees provide cooling shade that can reduce your energy bills, improve air quality, and increase your property value. Moreover, trees help stormwater management by intercepting rainfall and reducing stress on the stormwater system. Large canopy trees in our program qualify for a 5% stormwater utility credit – the number of trees needed varies from 1 to 4 depending on your property size. More information and available species are on our website.

Applications close January 14, 2026 – Don’t wait, there is a detailed application process and limited inventory – apply today at www.ecoactionarlington.org to secure your free native tree for spring 2026 planting. Need help with your application? Contact us at [email protected].
