EVERETT, SEPT 25: The Snohomish Conservation District is collaborating with the City of Everett to plant thousands of trees to increase the Urban Forest Canopy in designated communities by the end of 2028.
The goal of the project is to increase the tree canopy in specific neighborhood areas that have historically lacked sufficient trees, Alberto Vazquez, city parks & facilities outreach coordinator, wrote in an email.
More trees, please! A recently launched program in Everett aims to add 3,000 trees around parts of the city, and they’re free to anyone who wants one. People and property owners in seven neighborhood areas can request a free tree from the Snohomish Conservation District.

Thousands of trees are coming to urban areas in western Snohomish County.
“We’re doing 100% underrepresented communities,” said Linda Lyshall, the executive director of the Snohomish Conservation District. “We really wanted to address that tree equity concern, where you have urban areas where there’s just no greenery.”
