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 two trees that were donated to a neighbor of mine through the NeighborWoods Program (http://www.raleighnc.gov/arts/content/PRecParks/Articles/NeighborWoodsProgram.html)

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.
