“Trees provide a lasting gift to future generations,” said Environmental Program Manager Tammy Wright. “They improve the surrounding area and are good for the environment. We are excited to offer these tree seedlings to residents.”
For those of you picking up a free tree seedling on Feb. 16, you'll be asked to provide a brief description of the planned location of the tree.
