Foundation to give trees to new members

Now is the time to start thinking about spring planting, and the Arbor Day Foundation is offering an ideal way for everyone to plant trees when the weather warms up.

Each person who joins the foundation this month will receive 10 free Eastern redbud trees. The free trees are part of the nonprofit foundation’s Trees for America campaign.

“Redbuds will add lasting beauty to homes across Nevada,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the foundation.

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

Members also will receive a subscription to the foundation’s bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and “The Tree Book,” which offers information about tree planting and care.

To become a member of the foundation, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Eastern Redbud Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, or visit www.arborday.org.
