Minneapolis FAQ

How do I request a boulevard tree?

Submit a request through the MPRB website. Forestry staff assess space, utility lines, and species diversity, then schedule planting in the next spring or fall season.

Can I refuse a boulevard tree?

Property owners may opt out, but MPRB retains authority to plant for canopy goals. Discuss species or location concerns with Forestry to find alternatives before refusing.
