Come and get your five free trees! There’s no catch. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Forest Service has teamed up with Arbor Day Foundation to offer five trees to each New Jersey resident this spring. Each year they give out more than 100,000 seedlings.
Each New Jersey resident can receive five one- to two-foot tall bare root tree seedlings in a bundle, according to the Forest Service’s Facebook page. Each giveaway event is being organized by the municipality, so the Forest Service is asking people direct questions to the participating towns (listed below). If you are not a resident of a participating town, don’t worry, you can still pick up your five seedlings! Just head to the location that is most convenient to you on the date and time below.
