URGENT UPDATE: Kent County residents can secure a FREE tree sapling to plant in their yard on October 11, but hurry—supplies are limited! The Lower Grand River Organization of Watersheds (LGROW), in collaboration with the Kent Conservation District, will distribute 1,000 saplings to the community, aiming to enhance local environments and promote sustainability.

To grab your sapling, simply fill out a quick survey to pre-order. This initiative is part of the Michigan Forests to Faucets grant, generously funded by the U.S. Forest Service and Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The giveaway emphasizes the positive impact of tree planting on water quality, wildlife support, and overall environmental health.

Residents must be prepared to pick up their saplings on October 11, at the Kent Conservation District, located at 3260 Eagle Park Dr. NE, Suite 111, Grand Rapids. Two variety bundles of tree saplings will be available, offering a chance to contribute to local biodiversity and beautify your property.

Act fast! With only 1,000 saplings available, the opportunity won’t last long. This initiative not only helps the environment but also fosters a sense of community among residents who care about sustainable living.

Don’t miss out on this chance to make a difference in your yard and community. Share this news with your friends and family—everyone can benefit from a little more green in Kent County!
