Free Native Tree Seedlings To Be Distributed To Vienna Residents

VIENNA, VA — Residents can get involved in Vienna's efforts to protect its tree canopy and live up to its name as a Tree City USA. On Saturday, Vienna's Conservation and Sustainability Commission will give out free native tree seedlings for residents to plant.

The giveaway will happen from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18 — or until the last tree seedling is distributed. The location is the Vienna Farmers Market outside the Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry St., SE, Vienna, VA.

Volunteers will distribute 150 bareroot seedlings — 25 each of Allegheny Serviceberry, American Hornbeam, Black Gum, Northern Red Oak, Redbud and White Pine. Planting instructions will be provided with the seedlings.

Town of Vienna residents will be eligible to receive the seedlings on a first come, first served basis. The limit is two seedlings per household. The fifth annual seedling giveaway is sponsored by the Town of Vienna’s Conservation and Sustainability Commission and Tree Advocacy Committee.
