Earth Day – Free distribution of trees

Join us on April 27 and 28 for the many activities planned for Earth Day. It’s an opportunity to help protect our environment.

To mark the occasion, trees will be distributed free of charge at the Public Works Yard on Saturday, April 27. An online reservation form will be available on March 14, allowing you to choose your tree species and avoid the wait on the day of the distribution. You can pick up your tree at any time between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The first 100 people to reserve a tree online can also get a free rain barrel.
