Plant Trees

Claim Your Tree

Every year on ARBOR DAY we love to share our enthusiasm surrounding trees and give out native tree seedlings! This is an excellent opportunity to support local wildlife with native flora AND offers a critical opportunity to inspire new planters, educate on the fascinating aspects of tree planting and care, build relationships with local residential planters and corporate partners, and enjoy new, native tree growth.

Each year a different species is offered to ensure biodiversity in the trees we are planting. Trees with longevity and greatest potential to benefit wildlife are selected to ensure an even better future.

This year’s Tree:

Northern Red Oak & Cherrybark Oak
