Free Tree Program: Register by Sunday!

REGISTRATION DEADLINE MARCH 15, 2026

Dear Parent or Guardian,

As a reminder, we are participating in Neighborhood Forest’s 17th Annual Free Tree Program as part of our celebrations this April! Neighborhood Forest is a nonprofit organization that has helped more than 310,000 children across North America plant their very own trees since 2010 — inspiring environmental stewardship through the joy of planting and growing trees.

How to Participate:

There are three ways to get involved this spring:

  • Register your child to receive a free tree to plant at home
  • Purchase trees to plant this spring if you don’t have a child participating (Buy One, Fund One!)
  • Donate to fund trees in our community — $5 helps place a tree in the hands of a child

👉 Register here: https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/registration-services/?school=147056

  • Registration is open now through March 15
  • Trees (6–12 inches tall) will arrive around Earth Day (April 22)
  • The tree species will be announced in early April.

Neighborhood Forest aims to provide native and/or fruit-bearing, depending on our region. Other products that are purchased by you will be fulfilled by Neighborhood Forest.

Families who register will receive details about tree pick-up or distribution closer to Earth Day. Trees will either be sent home with

participating children or made available for pick-up, depending on our program setup.

Planting & Care Resources

Planting instructions, care tips, and species details will be emailed a few days before tree delivery and will also be available in the Resources section of the Neighborhood Forest website. Thank you for helping us celebrate Earth Week and grow a greener future together! 💚

Warm regards,
