If you lost any trees to hurricane Hermine, you’ve got a chance to get up to two replacement trees free.
The City just kicked off the annual Adopt-a-Tree program. Residents may request up to two trees, to be planted on a public street right-of-way within the City limits, and agree to keep each tree watered for one (1) year. Trees must be located in your front yard and within the City right-of-way, usually about 15 feet from the curb or roadside. Eastern Redbud, Black Gum, and Southern Red Oak are being offered this year. If planting under overhead power lines, the Electric Utility recommends the Redbud. To request a tree, fill out the form here: http://www.talgov.com/ you/you-adoptatreeprogram.aspx
