Leon County Government, the City of Tallahassee and the student-led community group TLH 200 Trees are hosting the annual Arbor Day Tree Planting in celebration of Florida Arbor Day on Saturday, January 22. Hundreds of volunteers will join County and City officials in the annual tree planting event.
TLH 200 Trees is a group led by dedicated middle school student volunteers that plan to honor Tallahassee-Leon County’s bicentennial in 2024 through the planting of 200 Japanese Magnolia trees. For more information about this community group, visit www.TLH200Trees.com.
Hosting the annual Arbor Day planting event is one of many ways Leon County has achieved its goal of planting at least 15,000 trees between 2017 and the end of this year. Another initiative, Adopt-A-Tree, has led to the planting of thousands of native trees in our community by providing free trees to citizens. You can learn more about this program and request your free tree at LeonCountyFL.gov/AdoptATree.
The City is proud to have been named a Tree City USA for nearly three decades. Its Adopt A Tree program plants around 300 trees each year for free for local homeowners. Planting has begun for this winter’s program, and applications will open again in the fall. Residents can get more details at Talgov.com/AdoptATree.
