Planting Nassau's Future
Planting Nassau’s Future is a Keep Nassau Beautiful (KNB) program. The primary mission of the program is to beautify spaces in Nassau County. As the eastern gateway to the sunshine state, we want to preserve our beaches, green pastures, timberlands, and all the beautiful areas in-between. Weather events, age, and increasing development can impact these environments so we must start somewhere in order to make an impact for all of our futures.

4. Adopt-A-Tree
Thanks to generous partners, donors, and volunteers, Keep Nassau Beautiful can host free tree events. Since the introduction of Planting Nassau's Future in 2020, we have distributed more than 3,200 free trees to Nassau County, FL residents.
During scheduled events, Nassau County, FL residents are invited to receive two of our 3-gallon trees, while supplies last, at one of our free tree events. Fall 2023 events are scheduled for October 28 - Fernandina Beach, and November 11 - Callahan.
Reserving trees is easy. Complete these easy steps to reserve your free trees:
- View the Educational Video on proper tree planting and maintenance to help ensure your tree gets the best start for a long and healthy life.

- When you view these resources, make a note of the special validation code that you will enter on the Free Tree Reservation Form.
A few days after submitting the Reservation Form, including the required validation code, you will receive a confirmation email. Be sure to mark your calendar to pick up your free trees at your selected location. Events are rain or shine.
