I have received e-mails from a few people already. The trees have found a
home.
If you are still interested in receiving a few trees then it is my
understanding that the program is funded through a grant and that there are
still more trees to give away. Also, they will not resume handing them out
until October. However it is a good idea to act on it now. You can call the
department at 966-4115.
I was not eligible for trees because of the lack of growing space in our
front lawn. However I spoke with Zach at 996-4868. He came out and verified
that if I removed two dying trees then that would open up space and would
make us eligible for two trees - to be delivered in October.

I have been watering them for over two weeks now. They were being
neglected. I eventually brought them to my house to make it easier to watch
over them. I also left a note on the door informing my neighbor that I had
them and were taking care of them. To the best of my knowledge my neighbor
has not been home since I left the note well over a week ago. In fact I am
wondering if they even requested the trees in the first place
I am tired of watering them indefinitely. If you are interested in one or
both trees please e-mail me off list. They'll go to the first person to pick
them up. Thank you very much.
