When was the Right of Way Program developed?

The City of Nampa’s Right of Way Tree Planting Program was established in 1991 to promote our urban forest and to assist property owners in the planting of trees within their right of way. In 1999, the Right of Way planting area was expanded to include 15 feet beyond the property’s original right of way. This expanded the planting area enabling more property owners the opportunity to participate in the program.
