Topline:
Plant Material in Altadena will host a free tree giveaway at its annual Winter Market this weekend for residents affected by the Eaton Fire.
Why it matters: Some experts estimate that Altadena lost more than half of its tree canopy in the fire.
How it works: The giveaway is for residents hurt by the Eaton Fire. Those interested must fill out this Google Form. Once the form is validated — which can take up to 24 hours — a link with access to the collection of free trees will be sent to residents. From there, people can pick up to two trees, place them in their cart and check out. The trees will ring up for free. The trees were donated by Plant Material’s partners, according to the nursery.
Where is this happening? The giveaway will be held at Plant Material, 3081 Lincoln Ave., Altadena, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Dec. 13 and 14.
