As part of Earth Week, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful is giving away free tree saplings to anyone who wants one (as long as supplies last).
From 3-6 p.m. Friday, April 23, they’ll be handing out limited quantities of Northern Red Oak, Chestnut Oak and Bitternut Hickory saplings with bare roots.
“Our only hope is to be able to find homes for these trees and that they live healthy, long lives,” says Keep Cincinnati Beautiful in a release.
To grab your tiny tree, head to 1115 Bates Ave. in Camp Washington where Keep Cincinnati Beautiful will have drive-thru pick-up.
Stay in your car, follow their signs and they’ll get you a tree.
“You are welcome to take as many as you can use as long as we have availability. They will need to be planted as soon as possible. We’ll provide a bag for them to keep them safe and watered along with instructions for planting and best care practices,” the release reads.
