KPSLB Committee to Hold Another Tree Giveaway
December 11, 2009 by Rachel Baker · Leave a Comment
The incredible success of the September tree giveaway to Port St. Lucie residents has prompted the Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful Committee to offer additional free trees to City residents on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 from 6 a.m. to noon at the city’s Public Works Department.
More than 1,000 trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Two species will be available, Live Oaks and Red Maples. Unlike the September event, residents will not be required to visit educational booths, but rather will be provided a tree-care brochure to take with them. As a result, residents do not have to leave their vehicle to get a tree.
The trees were donated by St. Lucie County to assist Port St. Lucie in its efforts to increase tree canopy, shade and to mitigate the effect of greenhouse gases.
One tree per household will be allowed, and proof of city residency is required.
The Port St. Lucie Public Works Department is located at 450 S.W. Thornhill Drive.
