Free tree seedlings will be available to Moorestown residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Forest Service’s New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign .
   From 9 a . m . to 11 a . m . on Saturday , April 30 , residents can pick up tree seedlings at the Moorestown Library . Seedlings , available on a first come , first served basis , come with instructions on how to store , care for and plant the trees . The guides help residents choose the right place on a property to plant a tree while keeping in mind the tree’s full - grown size in the future . Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick - up in order to prevent the roots from drying out .
   The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute more than 700 , 000 tree seedlings to New Jersey residents throughout the course of eight years , which was met in 2020 . With natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy , and the damage caused by several new invasive insects to New Jersey , our state needs more new tree seedlings than ever before . Therefore , the campaign is moving into its 9th year . The program is a joint effort between Moorestown Township , NJ Forest Service , Urban and Community Forestry Program , NJ Forest Service Nursery , New Jersey Soil Conservation Districts , Arbor Day Foundation , FedEx and Texpo Energy .
   When properly planted and maintained , trees can be assets to a community . They improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood or business district , increase property values , reduce home cooling costs , remove air pollutants and provide wildlife habitat , among many other benefits .
   For a list of all distribution locations across the state , visit www . forestry . nj . gov or www . facebook . com/newjerseyforests .
