TreesLouisville is a nonprofit organization focused on restoring urban tree canopy in Louisville. They are partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to provide 1500 free trees to Louisville residents.
Louisville loses around 54,000 trees annually and this is one way we can help restore our depleted canopy.
To participate go to arborday.org/treeslouisville, type in your address, and choose your tree! Trees will either be shipped to your home or you can pick up a larger tree at one of our two events.
Pickup events are scheduled for:
October 20, 12pm-4pm at Against the Grain Brewery, 401 E Main St, Louisville, KY 40202
November 9, 10am-2pm at Americana Community Center 4801 Southside Dr, Louisville, KY 40214.
This is the second of four seasonal Community Canopy programs. Last winter 870 free trees were delivered to residents of Louisville and the goal is to provide more than 3,500 free trees over the next two years.
The following species are available: American Sycamore, Black Tupelo, Serviceberry, Redbud, Kentucky Coffeetree, Overcup Oak, Shadblow Serviceberry, Swamp White Oak, Sweetbay Magnolia, and Tulip Poplar.
