Arbor Day Foundation Offers Ten Free Shade Trees in Honor of Arbor Day April
Ten free shade trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during April 2007 as part of the nonprofit Foundation's Trees for America campaign. National Arbor Day is the last Friday in April, April 27.
The ten shade trees are Red Oak, Sugar Maple, weeping willow, Green Ash, Hornless Honeylocust, Pin Oak, River Birch, Tuliptree, Silver Maple, and Red Maple.
"These trees were selected to provide shade and beauty, and a variety of forms, leaf shapes, and beautiful fall colors," John Rosenow, the Foundation's president, said.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting in April or May with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.
"Planting a tree is a unique experience," Rosenow said, "because you can watch it grow over the years. It truly makes you feel a part of the planet and the future, and connects us directly to nature."
He added that planting a tree is a perfect family tradition for parents, grandparents, and children to enjoy together, because the trees will last for generations. "Years from now, our great grandchildren will be able to say that 'this is the tree my ancestors planted,'" Rosenow said.
To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Shade Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by April 30, 2007. Or go online to www.arborday.org.
