EPB customers can receive two trees per household through Free Tree ReLeaf, a partnership with the city of Chattanooga and Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center, beginning Saturday.
With 1,000 trees available, the giveaway will last until supplies run out, according to a news release from EPB. Those interested in receiving trees can visit Reflection Riding’s campus, 400 Garden Road, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. At Reflection Riding, staff and volunteers will help people identify the best tree species for their yards and check their address to verify they live in EPB’s service area, the release said.
“Planting more trees in our community means so much more than making Chattanooga an even more beautiful place to live, work and play — it’s a critical part of enhancing our green spaces and urban forest for the overall health of our community,” Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly said in the release.
