Free Trees Available To Children In Berlin

BERLIN, CT — Borrowing materials at the library is free, but the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library this year is about to have another freebie ... and this one doesn't have to be returned.

The library this week announced that it is partnering with "Neighborhood Forest,"a national nonprofit with a very simple premise: give children trees.

Of course, the overall charge is more than that.

Namely, it aims to "help green our community and inspire youth environmentalism," according to the library, located at 234 Kensington Road, Berlin.

In Berlin, parents/guardians, are currently being asked to sign their child up to receive a free tree this Earth Day by filling out this short form: https://bit.ly/40U06xv

"We will contact you to pick up your tree at the library when it arrives," wrote the library.

Sign-ups are open now through March 15 and trees will arrive the week of Earth Day, which is April 22.

Neighborhood Forest provides species on a state-to-state basis, and the trees are different every year. Species will be announced at the beginning of April.
