We got a call this week asking for the city forester's phone number. I returned the call but thought, why not put the information on the blog.
Here it is

Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312
Tel. 954-828-5785

The website for the FREE Trees <<<<>
There is a brochure on the website which tells you all about the free trees and a form to fill out to request your free tree.
I have a free tree that I put on my swale in 1994 and it is a big Oak tree now. I love it. Unfortunately the trees we tried as a community in 2004 to plant on 14th by my duplex section did not make it. Out of 14 trees we planted only 5 trees have survived. 2 hurricanes came and destroyed.
Maybe I will have the energy and try again this year. I would love to see a tree canopy on my section of the street.
Any other nice free tree stories you can share?
God Bless,
John
