Do you or someone you know want to have an evergreen tree removed from a property in West Allis? Help us create a memorable display this holiday season!
We're looking for donations of evergreen trees to be used as Christmas displays in boulevards, boughs in the City Hall Christmas display, and in other planting beds throughout the City.
By choosing to donate a tree, you'll agree to the following:
The City's Forestry Division will remove the tree and clean up the debris associated with the removal (if the location is accessible by City equipment). Donated trees will be removed at no cost to the property owner.
The trees will be removed down to a stump. The stump, accumulated debris under the tree, and restoration of the area will be the property owner's responsibility.
There are no height requirements for the trees, but they must be accessible by either the street or alley with no overhead conflicts.
Property owners will be required to sign a release to allow staff and equipment to access the tree.
If your tree is selected, it will be harvested the week of Thanksgiving, weather permitting. Only a handful of trees will be selected, but trees can be placed on a waiting list to be used in future years or as an alternate.
For complete details and to submit your tree for consideration, fill out the online submission form. We're taking submissions through Friday, Nov. 21.
If you have any additional questions or would like to submit your tree for consideration by phone, please call the Forestry Division at 414-302-8811 during normal business hours.
