Free Tree ReLeaf

Join us, EPB, and the City of Chattanooga for free trees!

Join us for the Fall 2026 Free Tree ReLeaf! This biannual event brings free trees to Chattanoogan households every fall and spring season. Trees are integral to a healthy, safe home environment.

How do you receive a free tree?

Our free trees are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will start the giveaway on Saturday, October 24th, at 9 AM. When you arrive at our campus, follow signs to our Native Plant Nursery. Sometimes, the trees sell out within hours. Other times, we may hold onto our remaining trees for a few weeks until the last ones have found homes. If you’re checking in after the giveaway date, October 24, please call 423-297-6208 to see if any species remain.
