Applications are being accepted through Monday, September 14 for the Green Our City initiative.

It’s a great opportunity to have a tree planted in the public right-of-way near your home at no cost. The program requires a two-year commitment to water and nurture the tree before the City will take over the long-term maintenance.

Start by completing the Green Our City tree steward application. A member of our staff will review the submission, visit the site, and call-in utility locates.

Homeowners will be contacted if the right-of-way can accommodate a tree.

Program participants receive a five-gallon watering bucket, gloves, instructions, and a watering reminder magnet to care for the new tree. As many as 20 sites will be considered for planting this fall.

Ready to have some fall fun while giving pumpkins a better ending than the landfill?

The Webster Groves Sustainability Commission is organizing a return of the Pumpkin Smash. Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event has been expanded to include neighboring municipalities, including Brentwood, Maplewood, and Crestwood.

Bring your leftover pumpkins from Halloween to Blackburn Park in Webster Groves. A large dumpster will be setup in the parking lot off Jackson Road.

Smash your pumpkin to pieces with a baseball bat and deposit the contents in the dumpster, so they can be diverted from the landfill.

This year’s event will feature informational booths, educational activities, games and giveaways. Stay tuned for more details!

The City of Webster Groves is excited to relaunch the Green Our City initiative for Fall 2026.

Applications will be accepted for a two-week window, beginning Monday, August 31, at webstergrovesmo.gov.

Green Our City is a free tree planting stewardship program designed to expand the urban forest canopy.

Residents apply to have a native Missouri tree planted in the public right-of-way near their home at no cost. The program requires a two-year commitment to water and nurture the tree before the City assumes the long-term maintenance.

To become a Tree Steward, complete the online application. City staff will review the submission, visit the site, and call-in utility locates. Residents will be contacted if the right-of-way can accommodate a tree.

As many as 20 sites will be considered for this fall. Tree selection will be based on available stock, and homeowners request whenever applicable. Don't forget to mark any private utilities, such as dog fencing and irrigation systems.

Participants receive a five-gallon watering bucket, gloves, instructions, and a watering reminder magnet to care for the new tree.

Billy Haag is the Forestry Manager and Certified Arborist for Forest ReLeaf of Missouri, a tree planting organization that partners with the City.

Haag shares his enthusiasm for the project in this video along with information about the CommuniTree program for public land and non-profit organizations.

Emily Hixson Shepherd provides an update on two important Prop W projects!

Webster Groves City Council has awarded contracts for a new skate park at the Benny Gordon Recreation Center and renovations at Ivory Crockett Park.

California Skateparks is a nationally recognized firm with more than 20 years of experience, designing and building public skateparks around the country and even internationally.

Work will begin this fall with estimated completion in the Spring of 2027. Initial public input favored a mix of street and transition style elements in a plaza setting.

The project at Ivory Crockett Park includes a new splash pad, shade structure, and year-round comfort station with restrooms, seating walls, and decorating plantings.

Byrne & Jones Construction will be the contractor with the pre-construction phase to begin this month. The target completion date is Memorial Day of 2027.
