No matter where you want to dig your hole, an organization in Door County is working to make sure you have a tree to place in it. The Door County Big Plant was inspired by the Climate Change Coalition of Door County last year when the group wanted to do something for Earth Day but did not want the pandemic to derail the plans. Last year, thousands of trees were given away at several events throughout the county. Those efforts will be duplicated this year, but they will also be paired with planting events organized by groups such as the Forest Recovery Project, the Habitat Healers at Crossroads at Big Creek, and the Climate Change Coalition. Nicole Matson from the Door County Big Plant says she was thrilled with the response they received from the community last year.

The Door County Big Plant will have giveaway and planting days over the next month. The first planting event will take place on Wednesday at The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor, followed by opportunities at Mud Lake on Friday and Crossroads at Big Creek on Saturday. You can pick up your own tree or plant at Prince of Peace Church in Sturgeon Bay on Friday, Saturday at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor, and Sunday at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay.
