We're excited to announce that Maxwell Memorial Library is partnering with Neighborhood Forest to provide free tree seedlings to children in our community. Trees are vital to the environment in so many ways--they absorb, use, and store carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases contributing to global warming; they help reduce soil erosion; they provide food and habitats for wild creatures; and they are beautiful! To receive your free trees, children should ask their parents to register online at https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/school-search/
Here are the full details:
Dear Parent,
We are celebrating Earth Day this spring by participating in the 12th Annual Neighborhood Forest free tree program, whose aim is to provide free trees to kids every Earth Day. Since 2010, Neighborhood Forest has reached over 60,000 families and planted over 30,000 (mostly urban and residential) trees through the hands of children and parents across North America.
We endorse this project and are excited to be participating in this wonderful program that teaches kids stewardship through the magic and wonder of planting and watching trees grow.
Please fill out the following online registration form by March 21st and receive a free tree (6-12 inches in size) during Earth Week (April 22-30). Trees will be delivered to us (Maxwell Library, 14 Genesee St., Camillus, NY 13031) and we will arrange to get the trees in the hands of your children on or around Earth Day (April 22nd). Planting instructions and species information will be emailed a few days prior to the trees arriving.
Register to receive a free tree for Earth Day to plant with your child: https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/school-search/
In the dropdown menu on that page, scroll down until you reach Maxwell Memorial Library—Camillus, NY. Select us and hit “Submit.”
Thank you for your support and participation. For more information about this program, please visit www.neighborhoodforest.org or www.facebook.com/neighborhoodforest.
Thank you, and Happy Earth Day from all of us at Maxwell Library!
PS: We would love for you to email us pictures of you and your kids with your baby trees so we can share them on our website and Facebook page. Only send what you are comfortable sharing on these public spaces. You can email us at maxwell@maxwellmemoriallibrary.org.
