Select official city tree through resident survey and plant at Civic Center
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no official city tree. The city will create a list of native trees and conduct an online survey for residents to vote on their favorite. If approved, the city spends up to $5,000 on the survey, outreach, and planting the winning tree at Civic Center Plaza by Arbor Day in October.
