Free trees to plant for Arbor Day

For the 15th consecutive year, the New Jersey Tree Foundation is offering free two-year-old trees (1' - 2' tall) to celebrate Arbor Day on April 26, 2013. 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.
