Any Jamestown residential landowner who wishes to add a streetside tree in front of their home can apply to receive one of the wonderful trees from the Jamestown Tree Nursery. The space approximately 10' from the street is considered municipal land. In an effort to increase the canopy in public area of Jamestown, trees may be purchased from the nursery for just $100. If you are interested, click on the link for an application below. The tree warden will be in touch with you to help pick a tree that will thrive in your location. At the next available and appropriate time, the Department of Public Works will transport the tree from the nursery to your location and plant it. It will then be your responsibility to water and maintain the tree. The benefits are enormous. A well-placed tree can decrease your air conditioning and heating by 35% while your privacy and property value increases.
