Native Tree Giveaway

 

UPDATE

The plant giveaway scheduled for April 22 and April 23 at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center had an overwhelming turnout on its first day and all plants were given away, and so the event for April 23 is canceled.

You can still find sapling giveaways throughout the state listed by counties at
njparksandforests.org/forest/...

Thanks to everyone who supported this event to improve our environment.

Happy Earth Day!

In celebration of Arbor Day and Earth Week, the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife is giving away native tree saplings to residents interested in supporting local flora and fauna in their yards.
