South Bay Free Tree Giveaway

Sat, April 5th | 10am
Tanner Park Center

Thanks to an grant from the EPA, Community Greening has teamed up with the PBC Office of Resilience to 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, marlberry, red maple, strangler fig
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.
