The City of DeLand will host its annual Tree Giveaway on April 12, offering residents an opportunity to beautify their properties and enhance the local environment.
The giveaway, which is done in partnership with the DeLand Breakfast Rotary Club, will take place beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 12, at the city’s Public Services complex, 1102 South Garfield Avenue, with vehicles entering from the Amelia Avenue side.
“Planting trees is one of the most impactful ways we can care for our community,” said Mayor Chris Cloudman. “We’re proud to continue this great tradition by helping our residents make DeLand even greener.”
A total of 1,000 trees will be given away, with a limit of three trees per residence and a maximum of six per vehicle. Trees are available to all residents within the DeLand Utility Service area. Residents must bring proof of residency and a completed tree selection form, which can be found on the city’s website at www.deland.org. Tree availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Residents picking up trees on behalf of others must bring a written request and proof of residence for that individual.
Available species include:
