Since October 2023, our Buy Bangor A Tree Program has planted 67 native street trees and shrubs to increase our city's tree canopy.

Canopy reduces stormwater by intercepting rainfall that would otherwise run off of paved surfaces and be transported into local waters though sewer systems, picking up various pollutants along the way. It also reduces the urban heat island effect, reduces heating/cooling costs, lowers air temperatures, reduces air pollution, increases property values, provides wildlife habitat, and provides aesthetic and community benefits such as improved quality of life. 

Sponsor a Tree!

Through Bangor Beautiful's Buy Bangor A Tree Program, you can support the planting of trees in our community by sponsoring a tree that will be planted by our volunteers.

This October 2024, we planted 26 native street trees at the intersection of Oak and Washington Streets near the Penobscot Bridge to Brewer.

To support this initiative, you can Buy Bangor A Tree for $100 per tree!

*In the event that we receive donations exceeding the required funding for this current tree-planting project(s), any surplus funds will be set aside and reserved for our next tree-planting project scheduled for the Spring of 2025. 

To ensure the young street trees and shrubs thrive, each will be equipped with a tree watering ring. The City of Bangor Forestry Department will be responsible for the ongoing care of the public street trees.

Your support can help to make Bangor safer and more beautiful. Thank you for contributing to our mission!
