The event will be held in Asbury Street Park from 10:00 a.m - 12:00 noon. A tree planting demonstration will also be part of the event. Tree planting instructions will be provided with each tree while supplies last. Several species will be available including Red Maple, American Elm, Yellow Poplar, and several Oak species (White, Northern Red, Shumard, Overcup, and Willow).
