2026 Ypsilanti Free Tree Distro

The Ypsilanti Free Tree distro is back! A community-run event to distribute native and food-bearing trees for planting in people's yards, or anywhere else! We want to build community autonomy, food sovereignty, and a better relationship with the living world. We will be under the pavilion in Recreation Park.

We will have: Elderberry, American Plum, Black Cherry, Redbud, White Pine, and Pecan.

First-come first-served with a limited number of trees for each person. Please make sure you have appropriate space and a plan for your trees beforehand!

We will be raising funds both for Michigan Abolition & Prisoner Solidarity (https://michiganabolition.org/), and to sustain the project. We will also have food, a tree planting demonstration at 4pm, seed sharing, a poetry reading, and more!
