Thanks to your contributions we were able to give away 43 trees of nine species at our Spring 2025 Free Tree Giveaway on April 26, 2025. We gave away Eastern Redbud, Eastern Red Cedar, American Hawthorn, American Holly, Baby Blue Spruce, River Birch Heritage, River Birch Little King, Scarlet Oak, and White Fringetree ! The week after the event we received many appreciative emails, some with photos of their trees - your donations and the match will enable us to give away more trees in the fall of 2025…thank you from the roots of our hearts !!

Here are some email excerpts:

“I wanted to thank you all for the SOS activity. I picked up my tree and it is wonderful, Tanya helped me out to get the right one.”

“I picked up my beautiful Eastern Red Bud Tree today and took advantage of this cool rainy day to plant it. 

It looks very beautiful in my somewhat treeless backyard!!”

“I will be very vigilant with watering - I promise!!

Thank you kindly for this wonderful program!!”

“Picked up and planted!  Thank you so much!”
