Tree-Bates: Get $150 for Planting Native Trees

Rockville residents can receive a $150 rebate per tree from the city for planting native trees under the RainScapes Rebate program.

Native trees are beautiful, provide important habitat for birds and other wildlife, and help absorb stormwater runoff and pollutants.

Eligible properties include single-family and townhome residences, homeowners associations, condominium associations, religious institutions, private schools, and other nonprofits.

The city is proud to partner with the Chesapeake Bay Trust on the RainScapes Rebate program, which also offers rebates for permeable paver retrofits, rain barrels, native-planting projects and pavement removal. Residents can receive up to $5,000 in rebates across all RainScapes Rebate options.
