South Bay Free Tree Giveaway

Sat, April 5th | 10am
Tanner Park Center

We are saddened to report that the EPA grant which made our Glades region tree planting campaign possible has been terminated. All plantings and giveaways scheduled for the Glades region have been cancelled effective immediately.

Thanks to an grant from the EPA, Community Greening will hold multiple Free Tree Giveaways in the Glades region over the next few years!

Our third Free Tree Giveaway will be held on Saturday, April 5th at 10am at Tanner Park Center in South Bay!

Glades community members can come out to Tanner Park Center in South Bay and take home three FREE trees to plant in their yard!

There will be options of both Florida native shade trees and fruit species. Trees will be passed out on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of THREE trees per household (1 fruit tree max).

Species Options:
Native Trees: dahoon holly, golden fig (aka strangler fig), marlberry, red maple
Fruit Trees: avocado (‘super haas’), (mango (‘maha chanook’)

MUST BE A PBC GLADES COMMUNITY MEMBER TO RECEIVE A TREE (includes cities such as Belle Glade, Canal Point, Lake Harbor, Pahokee, South Bay – only PBC Glades members)

All trees come in 3-gallon containers, and come with planting guides and species information. Trees need to be planted in the ground (they will not thrive in a pot/planter). Species and times subject to change.

The EPA Grant aims to increase tree canopy throughout Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay by hosting three Free Tree Giveaways and three Tree Planting events each year in the area year for the next three years.
