How do I get it?
The voucher program is done twice a year (once in the Spring and once in the Fall). An announcement is usually made in the Stillwater Newspress to announce the beginning of the program. Names of people interested in recieving a voucher are taken.

The vouchers are given out on a "first come first serve basis" until the money allocated to this program is exhausted. After all names are taken, each person's house is evaluted by the Forestry Coordinator or Stillwater Tree Board member to see if they have an available planting space in their FRONT yard. Front yards are chosen because the Tree Board believes that these trees will benefit the community more than back yard trees.

The Utility Line Replacement Vouchers
The removal and trimming of utility line conflict areas in Stillwater is an absolute must to keep our electricity on and running smoothly. The Tree Board recognizes this fact and has developed a program to replace trees that must be removed under the lines. The Tree Board will replace each significant tree (i.e. greater than 4 inches diameter at 4.5 ft off the ground) with a tree worth up to $50. Limits for each resident are no more than 5 vouchers per household, and replacement limitations are completely at the discretion of the Stillwater Tree Board and Forestry Coordinator. Species are limited to the ones included on the Stillwater Guide to Selected Trees and planting spaces will be determined based on the criteria used in the Street Tree Replacement Program (detailed above).
