Street Trees to Beautify Your Neighborhood The Delaware Center for Horticulture has assisted neighborhoods in the planting and maintenance of over 5,000 trees on Wilmington streets since the beginning of our Tree Program in 1982. DCH completed an online inventory of Wilmington’s street trees in 2002, and we are currently working to develop a comprehensive management plan for the area’s urban forest resources and tree canopy.
In the spring, DCH coordinates the city’s annual Arbor Day program by planting trees with hundreds of students during the last two weeks of April, culminating in the City of Wilmington’s annual Arbor Day/Tree City USA ceremony.

DCH works with the Wilmington Department of Parks and Recreation to issue permits for street tree planting and maintenance, and reviews requests for publicly-funded street tree projects. DCH provides professional consultation services for tree protection and preservation during sidewalk renovation or construction.
