BULLETIN!!! FREE TREES!!!!


this is an email I received yesterday: Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 7:02 PM Subject: Free trees at select Greenmarkets! 1,250 Free Trees Available to NYC Homeowners and Families in May! Through the generous sponsorship of BNP Paribas - presenting sponsor of MillionTreesNYC Month - 1,250 FREE trees will be available for adoption throughout the City's five boroughs this May. Trees will be distributed by New York Restoration Project (NYRP) at four Council on the Environment of New York City (CENYC)
Greenmarkets and the Riverdale, Bronx YM-YWHA's Environmental Fair - with 250 trees being given away to homeowners and families at each tree-distribution site.

Note - individuals and families are limited to adopting one tree per household and required to register their new tree at www.milliontreesnyc.org. NYRP horticulture specialists will be on hand to provide instruction on proper tree-planting and maintenance techniques. For CENYC Greenmarket and Environmental Fair participants who do not have their own yard to plant a tree, information on volunteering, educational programming and contributing to MillionTreesNYC will also be available.
