Free Tree Giveaway for Residents
The preorder form will be open during business hours only, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Thursday, April 24 or until all trees available for preorder have been claimed.
To celebrate Arbor Day, the Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability (EPS) is hosting a tree giveaway the last weekend in April. We have 1,200 trees this year in support of this very popular program. The giveaway is open to Baltimore County residents only, and each household may order up to two trees. Residents are encouraged to preorder early, as the trees are expected to go quickly.
