The La Palma City Council recently approved a Residential Tree Planting Rebate Program to encourage residents to plant trees in their front yards... This program is an effort to increase the aesthetics of La Palma’s residential neighborhoods, provide for potential energy savings, and add to the City’s urban forest. This new program is a partnership with Southern California Edison, who has agreed to provide initial funding for the program.

Property owners of single-family detached homes throughout La Palma can apply for a one-time rebate of up to $75 for the cost of the trees, including planting and staking materials. The homeowner must purchase and plant the trees following the City’s guidelines and is responsible for all future maintenance and care of the tree. Program guidelines are available at City Hall and on the City’s website.

For further information about the program, please contact the Community Development Department at (714) 690-3340.
