Tree Canopy Replacement Rebate Program

Many thanks to our neighbors at the East Rockville Civic Association for passing along the following information: PEPCO, with coordination of the City of Rockville, has recently gone through our neighborhoods and removed many large trees. Many of these were on private property and replacing them is up to individual homeowners.

Should you or your neighbors be considering replanting, the City of Rockville can help you out through the Tree Canopy Rebate Program. Information is available on the bottom of the Rainscapes Rewards information page: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/environment/watersheds/rainscapes.html

The application is available here:
The RainScapes and Tree Canopy rebate programs are administered through the Environmental Management Division of the Department of Public Works. To learn more about the rebates, call the RainScapes Coordinator at 240-314-8877 or e-mail rainscapes@rockvillemd.gov
