The Robey Park Advisory Board, which is a collection of local residents and other stakeholders, aims to preserve, improve, and promote Robey Park (8700 W. 30th Street) for the use of both schoolchildren and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
To help make people aware of the park and to help replace dying or lost trees in Clermont, the group will be giving away 400 tree seedlings (17 different species) to residents on Saturday, April 20, at the park. If you are interested in receiving tree seedlings to plant in your yard, you are highly encouraged to pre-order following the instructions below:

ROBEY SPRING CLEANUP
The tree seedling giveaway is actually part of a larger day of service at the park on April 20 where volunteers will be planting 20 trees donated by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and picking up trash that has accumulated over the winter.
