Through our program, we have approximately 200 native conservation trees available completely free of charge to community members on a first-come, first-served basis.
These resilient native trees are perfectly adapted to our South Dakota climate and make a beautiful addition to any family yard or local landscape.
Where: Tiospa Zina Tribal School (Pickup location: Inside main building)
When: Wednesday, July 1st, 2026 starting at 2:00 PM until all trees find a home.
Cost: Completely FREE!
Important Details for Pickup:
Ready for Travel: The trees are bare-root but will be professionally wrapped with moisture and bagged before you arrive, making them clean and easy to transport in your vehicle.
Planting Support: Every tree comes with a simple, one-page guide on how to plant and care for your new tree so it thrives for generations to come.
Limit: To ensure as many families can participate as possible, there will be a limit of 2 trees per household (mostly Sandbar Willow trees.)
Quick 1-Minute Survey: To help us the needs of our community and bring more free programs like this to the community, we will ask all participants to fill out a very quick, 4-question survey at the pickup table.
