If I would like a street tree, what do I do?
If funding is available, the city will purchase and install trees in the public right of way. If space is available in the public right of way in front of your house or business, you can fill out the online Tree Work Request form to have a street tree planted. Proximity to utility lines, street corners, street signs and other factors will be considered before a street tree will be planted.

You may select the tree you would prefer to have planted from the Suitable Trees for Planting Along Cumberland Streets List, the City of Cumberland will try to fulfill your request. If you have no preference, the street tree will be selected for you. For more information navigate to the Suitable Trees List and Tree Work Request Form
