blooming tree in yardThe Environmental Services Tree Program is accepting Treebate applications through the end of April.  Getting a credit on your stormwater bill for planting a tree is a great perk in addition to beautifying your property and helping the community manage stormwater.

This program is open to single-family residences in Portland with a Portland Water Bureau utility account.  Depending on the mature size of the tree, you could get a credit of up to $50.

The program is only offered during the preferred tree-planting season, September through April. Learn more about eligible trees here.

That's a cool idea. I wonder if they have other programs like this in neighboring cities.
