Tree Giveaway
Tree Fredericksburg, in partnership with Friends of the Rappahannock, and We Plant Trees will be giving away 3,000 native seedling trees/shrubs (2-4 ft high) at the Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 20 at Old Mill Park, 2201 Caroline Street, 22401. The event begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., weather permitting. The trees are available for anyone living in the Fredericksburg region. The limit is five total trees and/or shrubs per household. The giveaway begins at 11 a.m. at the Tree Fredericksburg booth at the Festival at Old Mill Park and continues until supplies are gone. Reservations will not be accepted prior to the event. Availability is on a “First Come” basis.
The free trees are made possible with a generous donation from Tree Fredericksburg, Friends of the Rappahannock, and We Plant Trees. All recipients of trees must agree to plant, mulch and care for their tree as per Tree Fredericksburg standards. Correct care of a tree is critical to its growth and health. Tree Fredericksburg Tree Stewards will be on hand to show proper planting and mulching techniques.
