How does the Bradford Pear Bounty work? Register on the site, take a photo of your living Bradford Pear tree, cut it down to the ground and take another photo. Come with your photos to 145 College Ave. Rutherfordton (formerly BiLo) to choose your free native replacement tree on Saturday October 28 from 9:00 to 12 noon. Up to 5 trees per property.

These invasive trees are crowding out our native beauties, popping up in our pastures and their thorns can burst a tractor tire. You can help by participating in the Bounty!
