Thanks to an arrangement between the City of Wyoming and Cassinelli’s Nurseries, Wyoming residents can purchase shade at a discount.

A variety of nursery-grown trees are available, including river birch and varieties of maple, cherry, elm, cypress and spruce. The goal, according to Wyoming’s Urban Forestry Board, is to allow residents to replace damaged or downed trees and to maintain a healthy tree canopy in the community for future generations.

Prices reflect a municipal discount and include delivery and professional installation. Care instructions are provided.
