Free Tree Project

This annual project has been in place since 1993. Chaired by Bill  Williams, this project is one of the most popular that we have. The program is advertised in the local media, by club members, and by word of mouth. Ohio Wesleyan has graciously allowed us to use the Hamilton-Williams Center as our distribution center. The facility is ideally suited to our purpose, centrally located and readily accessible to the general public.

We have distributed more than 230,000 trees to date, and at no charge! Some recipients do make a donation which helps defray our total cost. We have distributed trees to schools, scout troops, camps, the Shade Tree Commission, and neighborhood organizations, as well as individuals. This project is a leader in our community for public awareness the environment. Each entity must be dedicated to the preservation of these trees to their maturity.

With a maturing ratio of 50%, this continuing project will have an effect in the quality of our air and the ultimate temperature and stability of our land. Not to mention the enhanced beauty of the Delaware County landscape.
