NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. — The Arbor Day Foundation has a unique way of welcoming new members: a giveaway that reminds members what Arbor Day is all about.
National Arbor Day is April 26, and the Arbor Day Foundation is making it easy for anyone to celebrate the annual tree-planting holiday. People who join the foundation in April receive 10 free shade trees.
By joining the foundation in April, new members receive the following trees: red oak, sugar maple, weeping willow, bald cypress, thornless honeylocust, pin oak, river birch, tulip tree, silver maple and red maple.
The free trees are part of the Foundation’s “Trees for America” campaign.
“These trees provide shade in the summer and vibrant colors throughout the fall,” Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation, said in a news release. “Through the simple act of planting trees, one person can make a difference in helping to create a healthier and more beautiful planet for all of us to enjoy.”
The trees will be shipped, postpaid, with enclosed planting instructions at the right time for planting in April or May. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.
To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, visit arborday.org/april or send a $10 contribution by April 30 to:
