Trick or Tree

Join MAR for Trick or Tree, a Halloween tree planting and community tabling event on the Pinellas Trail. We'll spend the morning putting new trees in the ground along the trail at 43rd St S, giving the canopy (and future trick-or-treaters) something to be thankful for! No experience necessary, our team will walk you through every step of the planting process. After the trees are planted, join us at Trailhead Park for a community celebration featuring trick or treating! Our partner organizations will be joining us to hand out treats and teach the community about what they do! Come for an hour or stay for the whole event; every tree planted and connection made makes a difference. Special thanks to the Jabil Cares Foundation for sponsoring this event!
