Panama City residents have another opportunity to bolster the city's tree canopy this Saturday with a free tree giveaway event. This marks the fifth of six such giveaways organized by the city as part of ongoing efforts to replant trees lost to Hurricane Michael.

The giveaway is scheduled for Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., or until the trees are gone. The event will take place at a location that was not specified in the provided source material. Residents interested in participating are encouraged to arrive early.

The city is committed to restoring the natural beauty and environmental benefits of a robust tree canopy. These giveaways are a direct response to the significant damage caused by Hurricane Michael, which devastated large sections of the local environment.

This initiative aims to provide residents with trees that can be planted on their own property, contributing to the overall reforestation of the area. Further details regarding the specific location and types of trees available may be announced closer to the event date.
