What is Save Our Trees?
Parkway Partners’ Save Our Trees involves three services that preserve and protect New Orleans’ urban forest, including treatments for Buckmoth Caterpillars, Termites and Fertilization. All services can be applied to public or private trees.
- You can order services for trees on your private property, or on public property on the street, neutral grounds or parks.
- Team with your neighbors so that pests don’t simply move from one tree to another. Eradicating them from your neighborhood should be the goal.
- Fully licensed, reputable contractors will be treating your trees.
All Save Our Trees services generate money that help make Parkway Partners’ programs possible.
For further information email Burdette Fouchia, or call 504.620.2224, ext 100. Checks may be mailed to Parkway Partners, or you can pay online below.

Save Our Trees Services:
1. Buckmoth Caterpillar Treatment:
New Orleans is famous for its beautiful trees, but its older Oaks are especially threatened by the Buckmoth Caterpillars. Parkway Partners offers spraying services to eradicate the caterpillars from your trees. *Please note that this treatment cannot begin until caterpillars have hatched. More on the Buckmoth Caterpillars.
Cost: $80 per tree
2. Fertilization:
One of the easiest and most effective ways to guarantee your trees have a long, healthy life is to fertilize them annually. Parkway Partners offers this service every Spring.
Cost: $65 per tree
3. Termite Treatment:
The Formosan Termites are one of the greatest enemies of the urban tree. These insects can infest your trees, and spread to wooden structures and even to your garden mulch. Damaged trees will often have areas of exposed wood that attract termites, allowing them to gain entry and further weaken already stressed trees.
Signs of termite infestation include: the presence of mud shelter tubes, swarmer termites, shedded wings or damaged wood. This evidence may be inside or around a tree.
Cost: $130 per tree
