City of San Marcos Parks and Recreation hosts Community Tree Giveaway

The City of San Marcos Parks and Recreation department will hold a Community Tree Giveaway in the San Marcos Public Library parking lot Saturday, Jan. 21 from 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Residents will have an opportunity to select from native shade, ornamental or fruit trees in one- to five-gallon containers. All trees will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.

In order to save time and plan ahead, the city encourages participants to view the tree availability list on the website at sanmarcostx.gov/forestry. Additionally, volunteers will be on-site to help residents choose the right tree for their yard.

This program only applies to residents who live within the San Marcos city limits.
