City-Owned Trees
Saskatoon’s urban forest, including trees on public and private land, is of great environmental, social, and economic value. The trees store and sequester over 708,000 tonnes of carbon annually, provide a sense of community, and can contribute to quality of life.
The City of Saskatoon is responsible for and committed to the planning, management, and protection of all trees on public property.
Tree Maintenance & Inspections
Maintenance of City-owned trees located on boulevards, centre medians and in parks is the responsibility of the Urban Forestry Section.
Request a Tree
You can submit a tree planting request for the boulevard(s) adjacent to your property. Requests are filled subject to availability and suitability of the planting site.
Tree Protection Requirements
Whether you are a homeowner wishing to re-landscape or a developer planning to build near a City tree, you need to comply with City regulations.

Tree Care
Proper tree care is critical for the establishment of newly planted trees and beneficial to the health of established trees, especially during drought conditions.
Industrial Tree Planting
Urban Forestry’s Industrial Neighbourhood Tree Planting Program focuses on planting trees in the City boulevard adjacent to commercial properties in industrial neighbourhoods. The goal of this program is to increase canopy cover and beautify industrial areas. This program is funded by levies on lot sales in industrial neighbourhoods.
