TREE PICK UP DATE TBA – Earth Day – Free Trees for Kids

Register to get your free tree to plant in honor of Earth Day! We had so much fun with this program last year and are looking forward to giving out native trees for you to plant with your kiddos again this year.

We are working with the nonprofit Neighborhood Forest for their tree program again to provide free seedlings for kids & teens. Trees are free, and pick up is at Soule Homestead. All trees are native to the area. Please register for your free trees at Tinyurl.com/SouleEvents before March 15th to get your tree.

The trees will likely be available to pick up before Earth Day but sometimes shipping can vary. We will reach out to all who sign up once we get confirmation from Neighborhood Forest.

From Neighborhood Forest:
We love trees! We want to give every child the priceless joy of planting and watching trees grow.

By doing so, we will beautify our neighborhoods, put a significant dent in our carbon footprint, and help instill in the hearts of our little ones a sense of magic, wonder, and love for our planet.

Neighborhood Forest gave 67,000+ kids their very own tree last Earth Day and we are aiming to reach 100,000 kids for Earth Day 2025!
