WANTED: Your Bradford pear trees!

Florence area property owners are invited to exchange up to five Bradford pear trees for an equal number (1:1 exchange) of FREE young, healthy, native replacement trees.

WHY?
Bradford pears are not native to the U.S. and have been widely planted in SC for years. While the blossoms are pretty, they have a pungent odor and the trees often break during storms. Even worse, Bradford pear trees directly contribute to one of the worst invasive plant species in the Southeast – the Callery pear. This program gives homeowners the option to remove Bradford pears and replace them with native trees. Doing so will help reduce the amount of seed that can grow into Callery pears and will help diversify the urban landscape.

WHEN?
Saturday, March 1, 2025
8am-11am

WHERE?
City Center Farmer’s Market
200 Sanborn Street
Florence, SC 29501

HOW?

-Pre-registration is required. Once available, click the "Register" link on the right under your city.
-Take a photo of yourself with the cut tree (a selfie, if you will) and bring it to the exchange event.
-Replacement trees will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last. If your preferred replacement tree is not available at the time of distribution, you will be provided with a healthy alternative. Specific tree species cannot be reserved ahead of the event.
*Any SC resident can participate and take part in the program, but only the property owner can register and get the trees. Property owners are responsible for tree removal.

FORESTRY COMMISSION DEPLOYS 13 TO OUT-OF-STATE WILDFIRES
Responding to multiple requests in July, the South Carolina Forestry Commission has sent 13 wildland firefighters and other personnel to join crews battling wildfires in five states.

The 13 SCFC personnel have either traveled to or returned from wildfires in California, Idaho, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington. Their work assignments fall under a wide range of Incident Command System (ICS) roles, spanning everything from firefighters, heavy equipment bosses and tractor plow operators to public information officers and base camp managers, among others.

Like other state forestry agencies, the Forestry Commission sends its highly trained personnel out west every year in response to calls for out-of-state assistance. With it being early in the western wildfire season, the SCFC expects to continue providing resources until fire conditions improve.

On June 4, 2024, a new traveling exhibition "Forest to Furniture: Exploring the History of South Carolina's Wood Products," will be on display. The exhibition explores the hidden-in-plain sight stories of furniture and other wood products manufactured in the Palmetto State.

Extremely unfortunate #invasivespecies news, but it really should come as a surprise to no one. The spotted lanternfly is making its way across eastern North America, and it looks like TN is the next stop.
