With 2024 already under way, why not add planting a new tree to your list? Adopt-a-Tree makes it easy. If you are not familiar with Adopt-a-Tree, here is a quick synopsis. Adopt-a-Tree events seek to give Orange County residents an opportunity to expand their landscape by giving away, or adopting, trees. Trees in the landscape serve several functions, including carbon sequestration, providing habitat for wildlife, providing shading that can potentially reduce home cooling costs, and possibly raising property values. As you can see, a well placed tree in the yard can have a tremendous impact on your life. Adopt-a-Tree takes place about 6 times a year and is located at a different Orange County park every time. This way, we are able to better serve the citizens of Orange County as a whole. Our Adopt-a-Tree events are staffed by our fantastic Master Gardener Volunteers who can help you pick a species of tree if you are unsure. They can also give planting suggestions for a greater chance of establishment.
Trees in your landscape can provide a habitat for wildlife, create shade for homes and capture excess carbon in the air! Residents can pick up available tree species from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., or until supplies last. Limit 2 per household. Residents are asked to bring proof of residency, in the form of a driver license, photo ID or utility bill. Dates subject to change. Tree species may very depending on delivery: Tabebuia (yellow), Crepe Myrtle, Yaupon Holly, Red Maple, Oak, Bald Cypress, Winged Elm, Japanese Blueberry, Red Cedar, Magnolia, Hong Kong Orchid.
