Tuscaloosa Tree Commission’s Annual Tree Giveaway Set for Feb 21st

Just in time for Spring, Tuscaloosa’s Tree Commission along with the Druid City Canopy Coalition (DC3) and the Alabama Power Service Organization will be handing out trees(seedlings) February 21st at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum, 1901 Jack Warner Parkway at 8am.

DC3 is an informal group interested in assisting with Tuscaloosa’s urban reforestation through procuring and distributing trees.

The seedlings are bare root, ready-to-plant varieties chosen especially for their color and heartiness in our west Alabama climate. We expect to have over 5000 seedlings to give away. Available varieties will include: red maple, live oak, white oak, crape myrtle, nuttall oak, overcup oak, and sawtooth oak. Limited numbers of redbuds, riverbirch, cherrybark oak, and bald cypress will be available as well. Come early to ensure you get the varieties you are most interested in!
