Veterans Park Free Community Tree Giveaway

Come and take home a few FREE trees to help you and your local community recover from the effects of Hurricane Helene. Meet us at Veterans Park in Black Mountain on March 12th, 2026!

This volunteer event, co-sponsored by Trout Unlimited, is made possible thanks to support from the Truist Charitable Fund and the Arbor Day Foundation.

Trout Unlimited has planted and distributed more than 3,500 trees in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene, and will plant and distribute more than 10,000 additional trees in 2026. The Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Tree Recovery program aims to replace trees in communities affected by natural disasters throughout the United States. The program has helped distribute more than 5.3 million trees since its inception in 2005. Working with Trout Unlimited, the planting will help restore streambanks damaged by flooding, reduce erosion and enhance habitat for local wildlife.
