The City of St Charles again is offering trees for planting in the City parkways through its “50/50 Parkway Tree Planting Program.” Residents interested in qualifying for this program may contact the Public Works office to request a review of their parkway.
All requests must have an approved parkway review before a tree order will be placed. Please do not send payment at this time.
Once approved, residents will receive a confirmation letter, an order form and details on how to order a 50/50 parkway tree. The deadline to order is March 1, 2019.
