Winooski residents are eligible for free trees to plant in their yard through Community Canopy, an Arbor Day Foundation program!

Residents can register for up to two free trees by visiting https://www.vtcommunityforestry.org/trees.

• The online sign-up process guides participants to the best locations to plant trees to help cool their homes, reduce energy usage, and save money. Residents can also sign-up by phone by calling the Arbor Day Foundation at 855 234 3801.
• The trees must be reserved in advance and will be available for pick-up on Saturday, September 11, 2021, from 10 AM – 1 PM at the Winooski Senior Center (123 Barlow Street).
• The tree giveaway is being coordinated by the Winooski Tree Committee and the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program, a partnership between the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, and the University of Vermont Extension.
