Tree Giveaway and Clean and Green Event Celebrate your effort of recycling the old by bringing in the new- a new life, that is. Also on Saturday, the Gowanus Canal Conservancy is hosting a Tree Giveaway and Clean & Green Event. 100 trees will be given away courtesy of the MillionTreesNYC and New York Restoration Project. The only requirements are that you must plant the tree in the ground and on private property. This means that you may not plant the tree on the street, in a container, or on a roof. Some of the species we will be giving away include: Winter King Southern Hawthorne, Southern Magnolia, Crape Myrtle and River Birch. The trees are all planted in 3 and 7 gallon plastic containers, so please plan your transportation accordingly. After you get your tree loaded in your car, or walked home, hang around and help build a compost sifting table, remove trash and debris from the Salt Lot and the 2nd Ave. rain garden, weed, create a new berm garden, and other various tasks.
