  • Treesilience Application

    TreesLouisville is excited to launch the Treesilience Initiative in Louisville, KY! Treesilience is all about protecting and strengthening the tree canopy in historically under-canopied neighborhoods by planting new trees, removing diseased/dying trees, and providing maintenance care for mature trees that need some love. The best part? Thanks to our generous sponsors and donations, residents in Treesilience neighborhoods can participate at no cost. Together, we’re growing a healthier, greener Louisville — and building community under the canopy!

  • Answer the following questions about your tree(s) the best you can. Note 1: Treesilience does NOT remove trees for aesthetic reasons — only trees that are Dead, Dying, or Pose A Safety Risk as determined by a Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) Arborist are considered for removals.

    Note 2: Arborists cannot perform a proper Tree Risk Assessment if they are unable to walk up to the tree and inspect its base and trunk. Thick ivy, dense vines, or heavy brush around the tree affect their ability to inspect. Trees unable to be properly inspected may be ineligible for Treesilience.
