Pick up location is at our Sandhill Nursery location at 24 Apac Circle, Asheville, NC.
Tree pick up for October is available every Tuesday 10 AM - 1 PM and every Wednesday 4 - 7 PM.
Free tree orders are limited to 10 per household, orders over 10 free trees may be cancelled.
Reforesting Asheville is not a one-day effort—it’s a long-term commitment. We’re in this for the long haul, and we’re so grateful you are too.
Thank you for your passion, patience, and commitment to bringing back our tree canopy!

We ask that you reserve a limited number of trees, so that others can reserve some too. Some events will have defined limits.
If you are interested in multiple trees for municipalities/organizations - please see our sliding scale.
