‘Tis the Season to Adopt-A-Tree
Give back to nature just in time for the new year by adopting a tree through Leon County Government’s 2017 Adopt-A-Tree Program. The program is available for residents of Leon County who live outside the city limits.
Between January and March 2017, Public Works will plant an Eastern Red-Cedar in the yards of residents who agree to water the tree three times a week for one year. An Eastern Red-Cedar is a large maturing evergreen tree, keeping its foliage year-round.
The trees may be planted anywhere between a house and any publicly maintained road with public access.
To fill out an application, simply visit www.LeonCountyFL.gov/AdoptATree or stop by the Public Works building at 2280 Miccosukee Rd. Applications will be accepted through January 31, 2017.
After the application process is completed, participants will need to place a wooden stake at the desired location for the tree. Leon County Public Works staff will then plant the tree as close to the designated area as possible.
For more information, contact Tom Jackson, Leon County Public Works at (850) 606-1400 / JacksonTo@LeonCountyFL.gov, or Mathieu Cavell, Leon County Community and Media Relations at (850) 606-5300 / CMR@LeonCountyFL.gov.
