Now here’s a great way to beautify your property and help the environment at the same time, and it won’t cost you a thing.
On Saturday April 27, members and volunteers for the local chapter of the Sierra Club will be stationed at Webster Park to hand out free trees to the public.
Your species options will include:
- Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor)
- Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera)
- Serviceberry aka Juneberry (Amelanchier canadensis)
- Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus)
Planting instructions will be included. All trees are bare-root, so please bring a bag or container of water to keep the roots wet until the tree can be planted.
The event will be held rain or shine on Saturday April 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Webster Park (corner of Lake and Holt roads).
Sierra Club members will also be at Seneca Park, Northampton Park and Genesee Valley Park on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. if you find yourself closer to one of those parks that day.
This is the fourth year that the Sierra Club has held this event. The trees are free, but members will also be grateful for any small donations. This beautiful poster, by the way, was created by local artist and Sierra Club Executive Committee member John Kastner.
