What better way to usher in fall than to plant 10 trees?
The Arbor Day Foundation is offering 10 free autumn trees for those who join the organization during the month of October.
The free trees are part of the nonprofit foundation’s Trees for America campaign, a program dedicated to environmental stewardship through the planting of trees.
The free trees will be two sugar maples, two red maples, and one each of scarlet oak, sweetgum, northern red oak, silver maple, white flowering dogwood, and Washington hawthorn, or others selected for the place of delivery.
“Members will especially enjoy these trees during the autumn months, because they’ll add abundant, vibrant color to any yard or landscape for years to come,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation, in a press release.
The 6- to 12-inch trees will be shipped postpaid between November 1 and December 10. They are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Planting instructions will be included.
To receive the 10 trees, send a $10 membership contribution to Autumn Classics Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by October 31, or join online at arborday.org/october.
