As part of the Arbor Day Foundation’s Trees for America campaign, everyone from N.C. who joins the foundation in September will receive 10 free trees.
Trees for America is a program of the Arbor Day Foundation that encourages everyone to plant trees to help the environment.
Everyone who joins will receive an eastern redbud, white pine, sugar maple, white flowering dogwood, pin oak, red maple, river birch, silver maple, northern red oak and Colorado blue spruce.
“This group of trees were selected to provide benefits throughout the year in North Carolina: beautiful spring flowers, cool summer shade, spectacular autumn colors, winter berries and nesting sites for songbirds,” said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation.
The trees will be shipped between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10.
New members of the Arbor Day Foundation will also receive The Tree Book, which includes information about tree planting and care.
Sign up must be completed by Sept. 30. For more information visit arborday.org/september.
