Bradford Pear Bounty Program Requirements
  • Pre-registration is required.
  • Tree removal is the homeowner’s responsibility. Several tree care service providers are offering discounts for those participating in the program. See the removal discounts page for more details, and find a certified arborist here. 
  • This is an event-based program. Participants must attend at the location and date/time of the event to pick up their trees.

  • Only the homeowner can register and receive replacement trees.​
  • A before and after photo must be brought to the event (i.e., a picture of the tree standing and a picture of the tree on the ground). If the tree was not flowering when cut, an additional photo with a close up of the leaves or bark is required. 
  • Replacement trees are free, native, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Up to five (5) trees can be exchanged at a one-to-one ratio for the removal of five (5) Bradford pears.
