The City of Orange Beach will observe Arbor Day with a tree giveaway Saturday, Feb. 27. A special tree giveaway Saturday, March 13 will serve as the launch of “Re-Tree OB,” a new grassroots effort aimed at replanting trees lost during Hurricane Sally.
On both Saturdays, trees will be given away in one-, three- and six-gallon pots in front of the Orange Beach Community Development building between 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The giveaway is for Orange Beach residents only. Volunteers will be on hand March 13 to explain the “Re-Tree OB” tree-planting effort.
The potted trees that will be given away consist of a variety of hardwoods for citizens to plant in their yard. There will be a limited quantity per resident.
For more information on the tree giveaway, contact Orange Beach environmental specialist Woody Speed at (251) 981-1062 or wspeed@orangebeachal.gov.
The Orange Beach Community Development building is located at 4101 Orange Beach Boulevard.
