Free Tree Giveaway 2024: Bayfront Park Pick-Up

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED - 1 TREE PER PROPERTY

Welcome to the 2024 Free Tree Giveaway! This year we are trialing a pre-registration system. In previous years there were long lines forming prior to the start time on pick-up days and tree species were available while quanitities lasted. This year you will select your pick up location and date, register for your tree species, and your tree will be held until you park and pick it up any time between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on the pick-up day.

Plant a native tree on your property to improve air quality, fight climate change and increase property value. Trees must be planted on private property, preferably at the side or back of your home.

There are two pick-up dates for this location:

• Saturday June 8, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
• Saturday June 15, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
