FREE TREES ALL GONE! No Trees Sunday (an update)

I hope you got yours 'cause a lot of people got theirs!

The 2Day free tree giveaway got such a tremendous response there will be no trees to give away on Sunday. In fact the 200 trees given out on Saturday were gone in 2 hours!

 

Thank you Fulton Business Alliance (FAB) for giving me the heads up, you can see their thankful response below:

All Sold Out - No Trees Sunday. The turnout Saturday was overwhelming, so instead having of a two-day event on Fulton Street at the Putnam Triangle, all 200 trees were gone in less than 2 hours! Apparently, a lot of you agree that TREES ARE FAB. For a schedule of other tree-giveaways, see the "Community Calendar" at milliontreesnyc.org DID YOU GET A TREE? If so, send a photo of you and your tree to: info@greenfgch.org Thanks to all who came out Saturday... see you soon again on Fulton Street in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene!

You know, I wrote this entire post with a pure heart and clean mind, then I realized where the trees are being distributed and thought, "this ain't the first time you could pickup some trees there."


Yeh I'm crude, happily so.
