DESCRIPTION:Proof of Clearwater residency is required. \nTake home two free trees and plant them this Earth Month and National Arbor Day on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nTrees are important in the fight against climate change. As they grow\, trees absorb and store carbon emissions that otherwise cause global warming. In an urban setting such as Clearwater\, the shade from trees cools city streets\, reduces air pollution\, and boosts personal wellbeing and health. \nThe city is handing out over 20 different species of trees\, including Red Maple\, Pecan\, and Persimmon trees.
