You can help make Door County greener, and it won’t cost you anything when the Ephraim Green Tier hosts the Big Plant at the end of the month.  Member Cindy Nelson says the annual event is part of a county-wide initiative to see 8,000 trees given away during the weeklong campaign.  The Ephraim Green Tier has given away over 500 trees in the past five years, and the Climate Change Coalition of Door County coordinates the event.  Nelson explains why the tree giveaway is so important and helpful to the Door County environment.

Nelson notes the native trees that will be given away are three-year-old balsam fir, red pine, and white pine varieties.  She adds that the trees usually go fast and that you can preorder your trees by emailing cindyandbruce@gmail.com.   The Ephraim Green Tier Big Plant will be held from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30 at the Ephraim Village Hall on Water Street.
