Port St. Lucie giving native trees to residents on Oct. 25

Posted: October 2, 2008

The Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful Committee will give away 500 native trees to city residents on Sat., Oct. 25 from 8 a.m. to noon outside City Hall, 121 S.W. Port St. Lucie Blvd. The committee recommends early arrival, as trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

By giving away an assorted variety of trees that are native to Florida, the KPSLB Committee hopes to protect native plants for future generations and encourage public awareness about the need to maintain Port St. Lucie’s natural attractiveness.

Proper photo identification is required to prove city residency, and only one tree per household will be distributed. Residents must visit educational booths prior to receiving a tree. For more information call 873-6312.
