Two more opportunities to get a free yard tree

April 24, 2014

Did you miss this spring’s yard tree giveaway from the TreePhilly folks? No worries, there are two more events coming up and both are this weekend in the area.

ArbrewDayposterOn Friday, April 25, our old friends TreePhilly and the Fairmount Park Conservancy are partnering with Yards Brewing Company to host #ArbrewDay, a celebration of local craft beer and the City of Arborly Love. Folks from TreePhilly, the Fairmount Park Conservancy, Yards Brewing, and the Masterminds Ad Agency will be at five bars across the city, including City Tap House at 3925 Walnut St., offering beer specials, a limited number of free yard trees (no registration necessary; while supplies last), and free t-shirts and raffles for folks who take home a tree. As always, only Philadelphia property owners with a yard space are eligible for free yard trees, but even those who don’t have a yard are welcome. Folks can also join the convo at #ArbrewDay and by following @TreePhilly, @YardsBrew, and @MyPhillyPark.

On Sunday, April 27, the People’s Emergency Center, 325 N 39th Street, is inviting community members to the Importance of Trees workshop from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. At this free workshop, you can learn why trees are good for us and also get a free tree and learn how to take care of it. After the workshop everyone is welcome to participate in the Q&A session. The event is co-hosted by the wonderful West Philly based non-profit organization UC Green (you can also find out how to get involved with tree planting and care through UC Green). See the flier below for more information.
