VANDERBURGH COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT)- Vanderburgh County officials, alongside the Pigeon Creek Watershed Development Commission, are offering residents a free native tree if they remove an invasive Bradford Pear tree.
EREP relocation program sees continued success
Officials say the Bradford Pear trees damage the local ecosystem, and the program offers an incentive to help fix the problem. The trees removed must be located within the Pigeon Creek Watershed, and each household can receive up to 4 native trees for participating. Participants will be able to pick up their native trees from the Wesselman Woods Park Shelter House 1 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on May 2.
