WEST CAPE MAY – In honor of Arbor Day, the West Cape May Shade Tree Commission in conjunction with the NJ Shade Tree Federation is giving away tree saplings from April 17-29, 2017.
Available varieties include Kousa dogwood, black gum, sycamore, chestnut oak, swamp white oak, willow oak, American holly, beach plum, white oak, bald cypress, red cedar, bayberry, pitch-loblolly pine and white pine. The trees are between eight and 24 inches tall and have been harvested without soil around the roots, making them easier to transport and plant.
West Cape May is the only designated distribution center for the Lower Cape May County Region. Trees are available at Borough Hall, 732 Broadway, West Cape May, Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM and at Empanada Mama’s, 600 Park Boulevard, West Cape May.
The saplings are free to the public. Trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
