The 2021 Arbor Day Tree Giveaway will be held on Saturday, May 1, from 9am-12pm. The City will be handing out a total of 200 trees, free to Oakdale residents.
This year's event will be a drive-thru event - with trees being handed out in the Walton Park parking lot off of 15th Street by the bandshell. Participants must have registered for a tree pick-up time in advance. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
Participants will also receive a free seed planting kit or pinecone birdfeeder kit - provided by the local Cub Scouts.
The following trees will be available at this year's event. A limited number of each tree was available on a first come first served basis.
