The Piedmont Environmental Council partnered up with Friends of the Rappahannock to give away free trees to Fauquier County residents in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! Thanks to everyone who signed up!

This is part of a Friends of the Rappahannock initiative to plant trees in the Rappahannock River watershed, with help from PEC and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission.

Trees are one of nature’s best resources and provide a wide range of benefits to our environment, economy, and local communities. Each tree planted will have a positive impact.

This native tree giveaway is made possible by grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), Earth Day Network (EDN) and support from the Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF).
