About the event

Valentine's Day *SOIL-Mate* Tree Giveaway
We’re teaming up with Landfall Foundation and The Endowment to give away 1,000+ FREE native trees! Each household may take home up to two trees—first come, first served.

Join us at Legion Stadium (2149 Carolina Beach Rd) to choose from a climate-ready lineup of native species, including:
- Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana)
- Overcup oak (Quercus lyrata)
- Blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica)
- Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum)
- Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris)
- Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana)
- Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)
- Pawpaw (Asimina triloba)
- Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis)
- American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana)
- Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum)

You can learn more about the trees on our website: acftrees.org/events.

Need help picking the right tree for your yard? No worries! Certified arborists and Tree Stewards will be on hand to offer expert guidance, planting tips, and long-term care advice.

This is part of our mission to grow a healthier, more resilient tree canopy across the Lower Cape Fear—especially in fast-developing areas that are losing trees at an alarming rate.

Trees clean our air, cool our streets, calm our stress, and connect our communities. This Valentine's Day, come out with your sweetie and pick up your SOILmate! (Pardon the pun, we couldn't resist ourselves.)

🌳 Our tree giveaways are—and will always be—free and open to all. But if you're able, we invite you to make a suggested donation of $10 per tree to support our operations, community plantings, and tree advocacy across the Cape Fear region. Your gift helps us keep growing!
