The Crossville Tree Board’s Arbor Day Celebration is slated for Friday, March 4, 2022, with some big changes slated for this year. The most notable change is the location. This year’s event will take place at the Cumberland County Community Complex at 1398 Livingston Road. The annual tree giveaway will begin at 9 a.m. with Mayor James Mayberry’s Arbor Day proclamation in the livestock complex. For the first time, vendors will be on hand, inside the Complex’s youth building. Crossville Tree Board members, along with volunteers from Cumberland County Master Gardeners and Wyndham Resort, will be on hand to distribute approximately 3600 seedlings from seven different species, along with tree-planting tips. Seedlings are given out on a first come, first served basis.
Species offered at this year’s giveaway will be:
– Baldcypress
– Buttonbush
– Native Sweet Pecan
– Red Mulberry
– Flowering Dogwood
– Hybrid Chestnut
– Redbud
Also a first, the Crossville Tree Board will have a limited quantity of potted trees available for purchase. Cash or check made out to the City of Crossville are the only forms of payment that can be taken.
