Street Tree Guide

The City of Bozeman Street Tree Guide is a comprehensive list of species and varieties that are approved for boulevard plantings. There is much to consider for boulevard trees, as they need adequate space from underground utilities, sidewalks, driveways, and other trees. The guide includes brief descriptions, locations of specimens, and tips on proper tree care.

Public Tree Reimbursement Form

If public trees are impacted by Development & Construction, this reimbursement form may be required. The Forestry Division will provide guidance for preserving existing trees or seek compensation for removals when necessary.

Forestry Planting Permit

Our free planting permit details all the quality standards and requirements for planting your own boulevard trees. Forestry Division staff will follow up with any concerns before final approval, upon which you can begin planting trees!
