MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Monmouth County residents are eligible to pick up five free trees through an initiative led by the Department of Environmental Protection. Every year, the state of New Jersey distributes free seedlings across the state in an effort to aid the state's tree line in rebounding from the devastating effects of Superstorm Sandy.

The seedlings are bare root tree seedlings, which come in lengths of six inches to two feet tall, in a bundle of five.
