Reforest the Bluegrass is Lexington's annual tree planting event. In 2021, there were two ways to participate.
- Reforest at Home was available for residents who would like to pick up a tree seedling from one of our partners to plant in their own yard.
- Reforest on-site plantings are available for a limited number of volunteers who would like to plant trees in parks and greenways around town.
