PASA Sustainable Agriculture is partnering with Keystone Ten Million Trees Partnership to give away a diverse selection of over 100,000 trees, including Elderberry, Persimmon, Hazelnut, Oak, and more.
If you can plant a tree or hundreds of trees in Pennsylvania, then you're we'd love to help.
Priority Areas
This is part of a larger grant program that outlines the following priority areas and sets the timelines for submitting tree requests.
-- Priority 1- Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, York counties. If the land you're planting in is within these counties, you may complete your request between now and Thursday, July 18th (to be included in the first submission of requests).
If your request arrives between July 19 - August 1, your request will be included with the next available submission.
-- Priority 2- Chesapeake Bay Watershed: If the land you're planting on is within the Pennsylvania portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, your submission will be included with the second submission of requests. Please note, while unlikely, it is possible trees will run out before second submissions.
-- Priority 3- Pennsylvania: If the land you're planting on is within Pennsylvania (but not in Priority 1 or 2 areas), you may submit your request to be included with the third submission of requests. Please note, while unlikely, it is possible trees will run out before third submissions.
Each tree comes in soil, in a 3" wide, 9" high pot. A set of 25 takes up a 15"x15" space. The trees vary in height from 2'-3'.
