Quinta Mazatlan is hosting a Tree Giveaway in October. More than 700 tree saplings are available for schools, businesses and homeowners in the Rio Grande Valley.
Schools and others can request up to ten saplings each for planting. The key tree species is the Rio Grande Ash, also known as the Mexican Ash or Fresno. Quinta Mazatlan will provide care instructions and a planting video to help ensure the trees proper growth. The Rio Grande Ash tree can grow up to 42 feet tall, offering shade and a canopy for birds to nest.
“Trees make our Rio Grande Valley communities healthier, prettier and safer,” Quinta Mazatlan Manager Colleen Hook explained. She encourages interested schools and homeowners to request the application soon, while supplies last, by emailing center4urbanecology@gmail.com.
