FREE TREES – 2017 NJ Tree Recovery Campaign

April 1, 2017 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm

- FREE

ATTENTION – NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS!!!

We’re having an another TREE GIVEAWAY EVENT!

“New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings to Residents in New Jersey”

FREE TREE SEEDLINGS will be available to NJ residents on (Saturday) April 1, 2017 as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OUR EVENT!

From 8am to 1pm on (Saturday) April 1, 2017, NJ residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Downe Township Municipal Building. Seedlings are available on a first come, first served basis. They also come with instructions on how to store, care for, and plant them. The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full-grown size in the future. Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out.

The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents over the course of the next five years. It is a joint effort between Downe Township, New Jersey State Forest Service, New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts, Sustainable Jersey, Arbor Day Foundation, Brothers International, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Wyndham Vacation Resorts, and FedEx.

When properly planted and maintained, trees can be assets to a community. They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.

For a list of all distribution locations across the state, visit www.forestry.nj.gov or www.facebook.com/newjerseyforests.
