PARK CITY, Utah. — Park City Municipal and Tree Utah have launched Planting Park City, a new initiative that seeks to add one tree per resident (approximately 8,500 trees).

“Tree Utah is thrilled to be able to help Park City residents plant more trees into their community forest that will filter the air and provide cooling shade for generations to come,” said Amy May, executive director of Tree Utah.

The program offers several types of native, drought-tolerant trees to help improve the City’s urban tree canopy.

Participants must reside within City limits with 84060 or 84068 zip codes.

You can sign up here to register for a tree and rank your tree species preference.

The program currently has 200 trees available for pick-up with the following pick-up times available (location details upon registration):

• Wednesday, October 13, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
• Sunday, October 17, 10:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, October 19, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. (rain day)
