Free Trees for Arbor Day 2008
This program is closed (2/22/2008). Please check back next fall.
The New Jersey Tree Foundation is offering free two-year-old trees (1’ – 2’ tall) to celebrate Arbor Day occurring April 25, 2008. A variety of evergreen and deciduous trees are available. Schools, local governments, tree groups, non-profit organizations, scout groups, and any volunteer organization may apply for the free trees. All planting must occur on public lands, be done by volunteers and maintained for two years.
There are many ways the trees can be used to beautify your neighborhood. Trees can be planted in a vacant lot to create an urban forest, planted as a windbreak for a community garden or at a school, planted in a nursery, or trees can be planted randomly throughout a park or cemetery.
For further information and an application please e-mail Lisa Simms at njtf1@juno.com .
The deadline for application materials is February 22, 2008.
