The Windermere Tree Board's Tree Giveaway allows locals to drive up, select a tree from the featured menu and have the tree loaded into the car for free.

The event aims to bring awareness to Arbor Day, which is celebrated by the planting of trees and emphasizes caring for them as a way to sustainably protect the planet's natural resources.
