With an eye on growing Guelph’s tree canopy, next month city officials are set to give away 1,200 free native trees. Registration for the annual Community Tree Giveaway runs through May 6 or when stock runs out. Residents can claim up to two trees each. “Trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to Guelph residents,” states a post on the city’s website. “If you claim a free tree, you’re responsible for planting and caring for the tree, including getting utility clearance before digging.” When registering, people will have an opportunity to select the type of native tree or trees they’d like through the add-on options. There are a wide variety of trees available.
