Osceola County hosted a Free Tree Giveaway on Thursday at Osceola County Fire Station 73, located at 7855 Osceola Polk Line Road. The event was led by District 1 Commissioner Peggy Choudhry, who, alongside Osceola County Fire Chief Larry Collier, kicked off the morning with a ceremonial tree planting in front of the fire station.
The event offered both Maple and Holly trees to residents for free on a first-come, first-served basis—promoting environmental stewardship and community involvement.
“Planting trees is more than just adding greenery—it’s about investing in the future of our community,” said Commissioner Peggy Choudhry. “This giveaway is a way to bring people together to take action for our environment and enjoy the long-term benefits of a healthier, greener Osceola.”
The initiative reflects the county’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and resilience through simple, impactful acts like tree planting.
“Today’s tree planting symbolizes growth, protection, and preparedness,” added Fire Chief Larry Collier. “Just like the trees we planted, our department is rooted in this community, standing strong to serve and support.”
Residents were encouraged to take home a tree to plant and nurture in their own yards, further spreading the spirit of sustainability throughout the county.
