Sycamore Launches Urgent Tree Planting Program: Apply Now!

UPDATE: The city of Sycamore has just announced an urgent opportunity for residents to apply for its **2025 Tree Program**, aimed at enhancing local green spaces with shade and ornamental trees. Applications are now open and will be accepted on a **first-come, first-served basis** until **October 10, 2025**.

Residents can submit their requests at the city clerk’s office, located at **308 W. State St.**, during business hours from **8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.**, Monday through Friday. This initiative promises to beautify front yards and parkways throughout the city, making it a vital project for community aesthetics and environmental health.

The city is collaborating with GC Design Inc. to provide and plant the trees, which come with a **100 percent guarantee for one year**. This is a significant commitment to enhancing Sycamore’s landscape and ensuring the longevity of the newly planted trees.

Residents will only incur a cost of **$197.50** per tree for classifications “A” and “B,” as the city covers **50 percent** of the total expenses. This makes it an accessible opportunity for homeowners looking to invest in their property while contributing to the community’s greenery.

The deadline is fast approaching, and with the limited number of trees available, residents are encouraged to act quickly. This is not just about planting trees; it’s about fostering a greener future for Sycamore and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.

As applications roll in, community members are urged to share this news and encourage their neighbors to participate. Together, Sycamore can grow into a more vibrant and sustainable city, one tree at a time.
