A tree for national forest week 2025

Thank you for your interest; we are out of stock,


To celebrate National Forest Week, the Town of Hudson is giving away 42 trees to Hudson residents from October 7th to 13th.

Registration is required

It’s not too late to plant a tree!
Fall is actually one of the best times for tree planting — the weather is still pleasant, the heat waves are behind us, and the extra rain helps young trees take root.
