Broward County residents can receive a free tree this Saturday as part of an initiative to expand green space and tree coverage across the county.<\/p>\n
Broward County Commissioner Alexandra P. Davis will host the giveaway on Oct. 3 from 8 a.m. to noon at Miramar Pineland Park, 3600 S. University Drive in Miramar.<\/p>\n
Residents can choose from five tree varieties: sweetsop, mango, June plum, soursop and Simpson’s stopper. One tree will be available per Broward County household, while supplies last. Proof of Broward County residency is required.<\/p>\n
Several of the varieties produce tropical fruit that can be grown in South Florida, including sweetsop, mango, June plum and soursop, also known as guanabana. Simpson’s stopper is a Florida native plant that produces berries that provide food for wildlife.<\/p>\n
“Planting a tree is one of those simple things that can provide benefits for years to come,” Davis said. “It can give a family fresh fruit or a place to enjoy some shade, while at the same time helping us build a greener and healthier Broward County.”<\/p>\n
The giveaway is being held in partnership with NatureScape Broward, a county program that works with government agencies, municipalities, schools and community organizations to increase Broward’s tree canopy.<\/p>\n
