THE LEAFLET
Want free trees? Apply by May 1
Know of a school, triangle park, community garden, recreation center, condo building — anywhere public or private property that needs ten or more trees? Casey Trees wants to help!
Applying is easy but time is running out. Applications for a fall 2015 (October – December) or spring 2016 (March – May) Community or School Tree Planting are due May 1.
