Please visit the Parks Department Tree page for information on caring for and planting street trees — and check out their interactive tree map!
Planting flowers in the tree pits is allowed and encouraged no only to beautify the neighborhood, but also because flowers need frequent watering which will benefit the tree at the same time. Avoid building up soil around the base of the tree since moisture on the trunk could harm the tree.
The BHA sells metal “Please curb your dog” signs to encourage dog owners to mind the health of the trees by curbing their dogs. Dog waste is harmful to trees. Please call the office at 718-585-9193 or email info@thebha.org to purchase a sign.
Heights residents can ensure the continued beauty of our leafy streets by reporting any dangerous conditions involving trees — especially in the case of accidents. Should you witness damage to a street tree, act quickly to record the vehicle license plate, taking a photo and noting the exact location. Report this issue using 311, then forward these facts and the 311 number to the BHA so we can follow up if needed.
