Annual Tree Giveaway: April 1st only
*Pick up at Great Seneca Park*

DATE and LOCATION CHANGE: We are pleased to offer free native trees on April 1 for the Seneca Creek and Muddy Branch watersheds. Trees will be available at Seneca Creek State Park parking lot for the state park office on Thursday afternoon only.

Each person/family can take up to (10) seedling trees on a first come basis. We expect to get 50 each of a variety of native species both shrubs, small trees and large trees. Tree species and descriptions are attached – this varies slightly from the list of requested trees.

This year, we will minimize contact during distribution and plan to adhere to social distancing requirements (6 feet). Please allow time to wait your turn, and bring your own newspaper/paper bags, buckets or plastic bags in which to carry your trees. Please note all trees will need to be planted ASAP since they are bare root, but as they are small and are easy to plant.

Distribution time & place: Thursday 4/1 2 pm – 6:30 pm; Seneca State Park
               
Trees will need deer protection: stakes with wire fencing works well. This year they’ll also need netting to protect from cicadas. Easy to secure as these are such small trees but essential. Info on tree planting is found here. We are sorry but we cannot set aside trees. 

Contact Merikay Smith if you have questions (merikays@verizon.net).
Please do not call the State Park – they don’t know event details.
