All trees will be purchased and planted at the expense of
the donor. |
To assure that protection and maintenance
will be provided by the County, trees will be planted in designated
areas. |

by Keep Brevard Beautiful. Plaques will be displayed in a
showcase at specific parks or gold courses throughout the
county. |
