Tree Pick up Instructions
Location: 2430 Old County Rd, Newark, DE 19702
Please enter from Old County Rd and park in any space in the parking lot. However, it will be a one-direction loop around the outside loop of the parking lot (as pictured below). There are three handicap accessible spots closer to the "Tree Pickup" location for those needing them.
Volunteers will be available to help you choose your tree, but you will load it into your personal vehicle. We kindly ask that you come prepared with two to three options in the event that we don’t have your first choice.
