Tree Commission

Street Tree Request Form

The Town of Manlius recently completed a 2025 town-wide street tree inventory which identified hundreds of available planting sites in residential neighborhoods throughout the Town of Manlius. The Town of Manlius Tree Commission is currently accepting a limited number of requests from Town of Manlius residents that are interested in having a shade tree planted in their right-of-way area (front yard measuring approximately 15 feet from the road pavement edge). Plantings will be scheduled in fall 2025; final tree selections will be based on site suitability and availability at time of planting. Please submit your information using the form below to enter your address for consideration. Recipients will be notified by late September 2025.

*Final sites will be marked for utilities prior to digging.
