We are celebrating Earth Day this spring by participating in the 12th Annual Neighborhood Forest free tree program, whose aim is to provide free trees to kids every Earth Day. Since 2010, Neighborhood Forest has reached over 60,000 families and planted over 30,000 (mostly urban and residential) trees through the hands of children and parents across North America. We endorse this project and are excited to be participating in this wonderful program that teaches kids stewardsh...ip through the magic and wonder of planting and watching trees grow. Please fill out the following online registration form by March 8th and receive a free tree (6-12 inches in size) during Earth Week (April 22-30). Trees will be delivered to the library and we will arrange to get the trees in the hands of your children on or around Earth Day (April 22nd). Planting instructions and species information will be emailed a few days prior to the trees arriving. Register to receive a free tree for Earth Day to plant with your child: https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/school-search/ * Specify DR Evarts Library and Teacher Kim so we’ll have your tree ready when it arrives Thank you for your support and participation.
