Bradford pear tree in bloomResidents within Eastern North Carolina have the opportunity to remove an existing Bradford Pear and receive a free replacement tree through cooperation of NC State Extension, NC Urban Forest Council, NC Forest Service, and NC Wildlife Federation. If the landowner is unable to remove the Bradford Pear, several tree care services are offering discount through the program. This exchange is free and open to the public. One may receive up to five free trees total (one per tree that has been cut down). A picture of the Bradford Pear tree(s) cut down must be shown to organizers at the pick-up to receive a replacement native tree. The replacement trees provided will be in 3-5 gallon pots.

You must complete the registration section to secure your spot at the event on October 12, 2024 at NC Bradford Pear Bounty  Additional requirements include:

  • Tree removal is the homeowner’s responsibility. Several tree care service providers are offering discounts for those participating in the program. See the removal discounts page for more details, and find a certified arborist here.
  • This is an event-based program. Participants must attend at the location and date/time of the event to pick up their trees.
  • Any North Carolina resident local to the event location is eligible.
  • Only the homeowner can register and receive replacement trees.
  • A before and after photo must be brought to the event (i.e., a picture of the tree standing and a picture of the tree on the ground). If the tree was not flowering when cut, an additional photo with a close up of the leaves or bark is required. 
  • Replacement trees are free, native, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additional details, requirements and information will be provided at the registration site.
