Arbor Day 2021- Free Tree Seedling Giveaway
The Village will be repeating the very successful seedling giveaway that we held last year as our annual Arbor Day celebration. It turned out to be a wonderful contactless event where we gave away almost 500 seedlings. The Village is able to obtain tree seedlings from the DEC’s tree nursery upstate in Saratoga. We hope to have about 500 seedlings of both deciduous and evergreen varieties. There will be a limit of 3 seedlings per resident, on a first come first served basis. The event will take place in the Village Hall parking lot. As residents drive up, seedlings will be placed in their cars so we can all maintain safe social distancing. In order for us to maintain our status as a Tree City USA, we must hold an annual commemoration of Arbor Day which actually falls on April 30th this year. The date for the give away will be determined when we know when the trees will be shipped to us, sometime in mid-May. We will publicize the date when we know more.
