The City of Oklahoma City is working once again with the Tree Bank Foundation and Apache Foundation to provide 1,000 trees to citizens free of charge. The spring 2009 “Great OKC Tree Give-Away” will kick off in two phases, beginning March 4.
PHASE I: Neighborhood group program participants
Registration for the “Great OKC Tree Give-Away” opens March 4 for neighborhood groups in low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods. To find out if your neighborhood qualifies, contact us at (405) 297-2283.
PHASE II: Open registration for all citizens
Registration for all Oklahoma City citizens will open on March 11. If you are already receiving a tree through your neighborhood group program, there is no need to sign up a second time and your registration may be filtered out of the system if there is a duplicate entry.
Tree types:
We are pleased to offer multiple tree types this year. However, due to a limited number of trees in the types available to the Give-Away program, we cannot offer residents a chance to pre-register for their preferred tree type. Instead, all trees will be made available for pick-up during our distribution on April 25.
Trees will be available for pick-up on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available only as long as supplies last.

Distribution:
Saturday, April 25 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
OSU-OKC Physical Plant (far north end of campus)
930 North Portland
Oklahoma City, OK 73107
Trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and tree types will be available only as long as supplies last. Due to limited inventory, we are unable to offer pre-selection during registration this year.
