Registration for our fall yard tree giveaways is now open! (Editor’s note: Tree giveaways are closed for the season, registration for the Spring 2016 events will open in March 2016)
This fall, Philadelphia property owners can register for up to two
free trees to plant in a yard or lawn on private property. We have several species available this fall, ranging from tall shade trees to beautiful and tasty fruit trees! Find more information on the species offered this season
here.
Participants can pre-register for one of the events listed below to pick up their preferred species.
At each event, participants will learn how to plant and care for their new tree and receive educational materials as well as a free bag of mulch. Pre-registration is required for all events, unless otherwise noted.
