Spring 2026 applications are open now!

Do you want to earn credit towards your Stormwater Utility by planting trees on your property? Large canopy trees planted through the Arlington County Tree Canopy Fund are eligible for a 5% stormwater utility credit. Eligibility is based on the native tree being 1” caliper and the number of trees required to receive credit varies from 1-4 trees.

Visit the EcoAction Arlington website to learn more and apply.

EcoAction Arlington has a goal to increase the tree canopy in Arlington and offers a tree planting program funded by the Arlington County Tree Canopy Fund. Owners of private property, including single-family homes, townhouses, condos and places of worship, can apply to get a native tree planted on their property. Public properties, including schools and parks, are not eligible for this program.

Originally authorized by the Arlington County Board in 2007, this program is administered by EcoAction Arlington in partnership with the Arlington County Forestry and Natural Resources Commission. Since its inception, more than 3,800 trees have been planted!

In order to address environmental justice and mitigate inequity in the tree canopy throughout the County, EcoAction Arlington created the Tree Canopy Equity Program to target planting efforts in civic associations that would benefit the most from targeted, sustained tree planting efforts.
