Local Partnership
We are on the look-out for Callery Pears! N.C. Cooperative Extension- Lee County Center is partnering with the City of Sanford to put on a Bradford Pear Bounty, collaborative program between N.C. Cooperative Extension, NC Urban Forest Council, NC Forest Service, and NC Wildlife Federation, on Saturday, October 28, 2023.
How it Works
From the NC Bradford Pear Bounty website:
- Pre-registration is required. Register at the NC Bradford Pear Bounty website.
- A before and after photo must be brought to the event (i.e., a picture of the tree standing and a picture of the tree on the ground). If the tree was not flowering when cut, an additional photo with a close up of the leaves or bark is required.
- Tree removal is the homeowner’s responsibility. Several tree care service providers are offering discounts for those participating in the program (these to be announced soon). Find a certified arborist here.
- This is an event-based program. Participants must attend at the location and date/time of the event to pick up their trees.
- Any North Carolina resident local to the event location is eligible.
- Only the homeowner can register and receive replacement trees.
- Replacement trees are free, native, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Up to five (5) trees can be exchanged at a one-to-one ratio for the removal of five (5) Bradford pears.
