Great news for Portland homeowners and gardeners: Portland Parks & Recreation has launched its annual Free Tree Season, giving residents the chance to add a little more green to their neighborhoods at no cost.

The program, announced by Portland.gov on July 7, 2026, invites community members to take advantage of free trees available through the city’s parks department. It’s a beloved seasonal tradition that helps beautify Portland’s streets and yards while supporting the urban tree canopy that keeps the city cooler, cleaner, and more vibrant.

Whether you’ve been eyeing a bare spot in your front yard or simply want to do something good for your block, this is the perfect opportunity to put down some roots — literally. Portland’s urban forest is one of the city’s most cherished natural assets, and programs like this one help ensure it continues to grow for generations to come.

Residents interested in participating are encouraged to visit Portland.gov for details on how to claim their free tree and get it in the ground this season.
