Trees can help! Trees soak up stormwater and their roots hold soil in place.
The TOBM Stormwater Program is giving away one free tree per Black Mountain household to assist with stormwater mitigation in wet areas and to prevent erosion.
If you received a tree for your household last year, and still have room for another tree, feel free to come get one for your household!
Friday, September 29th
4pm to 6pm or until all trees have been adopted
Black Mountain Town Hall, 160 Midland Ave, Black Mountain, NC 28711
