Operation Re-Leaf

Every year, West Lafayette Tree Friends partners with the City to plant street trees in the public right-of-way, through a program called Operation ReLeaf. Your donations to West Lafayette Tree Friends match the City dollar-to-dollar, providing street trees at no cost to residents in West Lafayette. This planting program aims to replace trees that have been removed – such as ash trees from Emerald ash borer – and add trees where there is not an existing tree canopy. Thank you for your continued support!

We are excited to see so many requests for new street trees. To better manage the demand, an application is available Operation Re-Leaf Tree Application at no cost which allows property owners to contribute their preferences and request training on proper watering, mulching, and pruning.

For more information on the program or questions on the application, contact the Greenspace Administrator.
