Tree Giveaway Day

TBD! Different trees will be available at each location. The majority of the trees will be Norway Spruce, with small quantities of Red Pine, White Cedar, and European Larch. 

Tree Giveaways will be happening at all Wellington County Library branches, located in communities across Wellington County. Free Tree Giveaway Day is taking place on Saturday, May 10 and trees will be available beginning when each of the library branches open. Quantities are limited and will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.  

For hours and addresses of each library location, please see the Library Hours and Locations page. 

Trees must be planted in Wellington County.  You must have permission from the landowner.  Provided they are on your property, you are free to plant the seedlings wherever you like.  Keep in mind, that some places are generally inappropriate to plant such as on septic beds, under power lines, or close to buildings.   

Planting tree seedlings is fun and can be a great family activity! Please see our Planting Tree Seedlings guide for tips and tricks that will help ensure your seedlings survive. 

Topics in the Planting Tree Seedlings Guide include: 

• Transportation and storage
• Site selection
• How to plant
