To restore the natural beauty of Carrollton after a storm blighted its urban canopy, the city is reaching out to residents with a heartening proposition—an Arbor Day Tree Giveaway aimed at breathing new life into neighborhoods. Set for April 19, this event is about planting trees and rekindling community spirit in the wake of nature's fury that tore through the area on May 28, 2024, leaving barren patches. As reported by the City of Carrollton's official website, interested locals can look forward to adding a touch of green to their lots once again.

With a variety of five different tree species on offer, the City of Carrollton is facilitating this giveaway to counter the destruction caused by last year's storm—inviting homeowners to quite literally take roots into their own hands and heal their city's wounded green spaces, the City is gearing up to distribute 300 free trees on a first-come, first-served basis to those with proof of residency because there is a limit of one tree per household, the tree must be picked up on Saturday, April 19, at the designated time. Preregistration began on March 25 at 8 a.m., with a confirmation email to follow.

Residents who missed the initial announcement or need further details can head over to the city's Arbor Day page for information on the tree species, planting tips, and frequently asked questions; moreover, those who haven't received their confirmation email by April 10 are urged to reach out immediately by emailing [email protected], or by calling 972-466-3160, ensuring no tree goes unclaimed and every opportunity for greening Carrollton finds fruitful soil.
