The Town of Farmville, in partnership with Tree City USA, has introduced a new tree program called “Branch Out in Farmville.”

This program offers community members a way to directly contribute to the beautification of Farmville. Trees will be planted within town limits, in areas of need designated by the town. Citizens can donate a tree on behalf of an individual or group. A certificate will be sent to the designated honoree or family. Donation costs will cover purchase of the tree, installation and care after planting.

There are two levels of donations – $125 for a 6- to 8-foot tree and $250 for an 8- to 10-foot tree. Donations can be made at the Farmville Treasurer’s office located at 116 North Main Street.
