PROGRAM GUIDELINES: By reserving trees here, you agree to the following:

You understand this is a nonprofit volunteer activity intended to improve our environment and you will plant your tree on April 1 or a soon as possible after receiving your trees.
Double-check the spelling of your email address when checking out. If you do not receive a confirmation receipt but see a charge on your credit card, it means you have typed the wrong email address or the receipt went to your junk mailbox. Please check there before contacting us. If you do not see a charge on your credit card, your order did not go through and you should try again.
Tree species are subject to availability. In the unlikely event your tree species will not be available, we will offer a similar species, or a full refund if your prefer. We recommend ordering at least two trees.
You agree to pick up the seedlings on April 1 from 9am-12pm. If your plans change and you are unavailable, you will arrange for a family member or friend to pick trees up for you. You understand that if you fail to pick trees up during that time, they may be donated to someone else. We may NOT be available by phone or email to help you find this information on the day of pick up, but you can find all of the needed information on this page and in the emails we are sending. You understand that pick-up site leaders are volunteers and are not employees of Green Interchange.
Please bring your own plastic bag to keep the roots moist. You may also bring a few paper towels moistened with water to keep roots damp.
You have read instructions on how to plant your tree, and you will plant the tree 4/1/23 or soon thereafter, where it is most likely to thrive, and you will avoid planting too close to structures or utility lines.
You understand that if an extraordinary event beyond our control occurs, including but not limited to fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, lightning, explosion, strikes, lockouts, slowdowns, shortage of energy supplies, pandemics, war, riots, and acts of governmental action prohibiting or impeding any party from performing its respective obligations for this event, we will do our best to deliver your trees during the agreed-upon day and time but may need to delay tree delivery. In the unlikely event that we need to change the date, we will announce as soon as possible on the morning of the event.
You acknowledge that you have the physical capacity reasonably necessary to engage in this activity you waive all claims that you might have against Green Interchange its agents, employees, sponsoring organizations, or other volunteers for bodily injuries that you might suffer arising out of your participation.
You will receive confirmation and reminder emails for this event only. If you subscribe you will continue to receive our emails about other Green Interchange events and activities.
After planting, you will take pictures of your tree and post them on social media with the hashtag #plantatreeforga and/or you will send pictures or feedback to us to let us know how your tree is doing.

When it was planted 18 years prior, this tree was a bare-root seedling, like the one you'll receive

Help us save plastic and waste, bring your own plastic bag (bags from the grocery store work great).
Even better - include a few paper towels moistened with water to keep the roots damp.
