Greenscape Tree Giveaway

Greenscape organizes Jacksonville’s official Arbor Day Celebration and schedules it on a date approved and designated each year by Mayoral Proclamation. The event changes venue annually to provide opportunities for all citizens to attend and participate. This event raises awareness of the important role trees play in our lives, offers professional advice to homeowners, and distributes free trees to increase our urban canopy.
