The City of Coeur d'Alene has a number of street trees that need good homes! Street trees are planted at residential locations within public right-of-way areas in the city limits through the CDA Re-Leaf program. Trees are planted at no cost to the homeowner to enhance our neighborhoods and provide many street-side benefits such as mitigating storm water and reducing pollution.

Trees are provided to homeowners who are willing to provide care, including watering and protecting from mowers and trimmers. The tree species that were available in Spring 2025 are below.

Once a date is finalized for 2026, interested homeowners may contact the Parks & Recreation Department and sign up for a street tree. Due to the limited number of trees, distribution will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to apply will be announced in early 2026.
