Arbor Day Foundation giving away free trees to new members

The Arbor Day Foundation is giving away 10 free Norway spruce or 10 redbud trees to anyone who joins in February, according to a press release.

The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. Those interested in joining have until Feb. 28.

“These trees will help beautify your home for many years to come,” said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees will also add to the proud heritage of your state’s existing Tree City USA communities.”

The Tree City USA program has supported community forestry throughout the country for the past 40 years.

The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting, between March 1 and May 31, with enclosed planting instructions. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge.

Members also receive a subscription to the Foundation’s colorful bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, which contains information about planting and care.

To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to:
