Keep Nassau Beautiful Free Tree Drive-Through Event

Keep Nassau Beautiful wants to give away 500 free trees in celebration of Florida Arbor Day

Nassau County residents are invited to receive one or two 3-gallon trees at one of Keep Nassau Beautiful's free drive-through Adopt-A-Tree events in January 2021. To receive free trees, view the educational Tree Fact Sheets with explanations of all the tree species being offered and a YouTube video on proper tree planting and maintenance. When you use these resources, you will make note of the special validation code which you will place on the free trees reservation form. A few days after submitting the form, including the required validation code, you will receive your free tree voucher by email, one voucher for each tree you selected. Then drop by the drive-through event assigned to you and our volunteers will provide your tree(s) in exchange for the voucher and proof of residency.

Reserve your preferred tree species and pick-up location by REGISTERING HERE for one of the three drive-through Adopt-A-Tree events being offered to Nassau County residents:

• (1) January 16, 2021, 9AM to 12 Noon* in Fernandina Beach at the Peck Center

5. Plant your trees, water them according to guidelines, and watch them grow!
