Tree Giveaway held in conjunction with the Riverland Eggstravaganza Block Party

Summer days will be cooler, greener and more beautiful when the City of Fort Lauderdale reaches our goal of a 23.6% tree canopy cover by 2018. 

Residents are invited to help reach that goal by participating in our free tree giveaway from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 26th at Riverland Park.  The park is located at 950 SW 27th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312. 

With proof of residency, all Fort Lauderdale residents may receive up to two trees per household at no charge.

The tree giveaway is being held in conjunction with the Annual Riverland Eggstravaganza Block Party, a popular event that includes an egg hunt, entertainment and more.

Studies show that urban forests have many benefits such as contributing to cleaner air, reducing stormwater runoff, increasing energy savings and carbon sequestration, and creating higher property values.  Due to these findings, the City has emphasized cultivating its urban forest to gain these quantifiable benefits for community health and quality of life.
