There will be a free tree distribution event later this month.

Trees Forever Coordinator in Jefferson Brad Riphagen says on Tuesday from 4-7pm they will be giving away five different kinds of shade trees for free in Nevada.

“This is a free, actually a free tree distribution to anybody who lives in a county that was affected by the 2020 derecho. So that’s everybody in Greene County.”   

Riphagen says there are 400 trees to be distributed with a limit of two trees per person that will be on a first come, first serve basis. The location is in a parking lot west of the aquatic center.
