In an effort to help Manitowoc residents regain some of the urban canopy which is being lost due to the Emerald Ash Borer’s devastating effects on the city’s Ash Tree population, the City of Manitowoc Forestry Division will again offer a Christmas tree exchange program.
The Tree for a Tree Program will offer City of Manitowoc residents the opportunity to exchange a fresh cut Christmas tree for a young deciduous tree seedling known in forestry as a “whip.”
Whips are ready for planting and are generally described as between three to four feet in height, two to four years of age, and ready for planting.
Throughout the month of January 2023, City of Manitowoc residents will have the opportunity to bring their live Christmas tree to the Manitowoc County Recycling Center at 3000 Basswood Road.
Vouchers for a deciduous whip will be mailed to qualified City residents in March.
For more information, visit the City of Manitowoc website.
