How does it work?
Tree Fest plants four trees for every beer purchased during the day. Trees will also be planted for merchandise purchases. All donations from Tree Fest sponsors go directly to tree plantings.
Trees are one-year-old longleaf pines. They are planted by the Alachua Conservation Trust at the Little Orange Creek Preserve in Hawthorne, FL.
