These are all\u00a0 benefits of planting trees.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the success of last year&#8217;s program, the City of Beacon, is replicating its tree purchasing program again in 2026. This program will pass along significant savings to homeowners interested in planting trees on their property. The trees offered in the program are close to 50% off retail and will be delivered directly to your home.<\/p>\n<p>All trees listed would be delivered to the homeowner in 15-gallon pots (unless indicated below). Average tree height would be 5\u2019 to 10\u2019 with a trunk caliper of 1.25\u201d-1.75\u201d. All trees will be delivered to your home in April 2026 before Arbor Day. Please note that the homeowner will be responsible for planting and caring for the trees delivered. Please consider purchasing a TreeGator\u00ae with each tree. Treegator\u00ae Slow Release Watering Bags are the fastest, easiest, and most efficient way to effectively water a newly planted tree or shrub.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beaconny.myrec.com\/info\/products\/default.aspx\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Sale Ends 4\/1\/2026<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beaconny.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Backyard-Trees-Info-Sheet-2026.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19438\" src=\"https:\/\/beaconny.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tREEPIC2026-300x289.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beaconny.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tREEPIC2026-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/beaconny.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tREEPIC2026.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion active_section=&#8221;0&#8243; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Committee Members&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1713446551912-49d704f3-1e5d&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Andrew Bell, Chair<\/p>\n<p>Vickie Raabin<\/p>\n<p>Brian Donnelly<\/p>\n<p>Justine Bienkowski<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The City of Beacon Highway Superintendent, Director of Recreation, and Assistant to the Mayor are also Ex Officio non-voting members of the Tree Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The Tree Committee consists of five members.
