Join Arbor Day Foundation in April and get 10 free trees

Ten free shade trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during April as part of the non-profit Foundation's Trees for America campaign.

The ten shade trees are Red Oak, Sugar Maple, Weeping Willow, Green Ash, Thornless Honeylocust, Pin Oak, River Birch, Tuliptree, Silver Maple and Red Maple.

These particular trees were selected to provide shade and beauty and a variety of forms, leaf shapes and fall colors. They are shipped, postpaid, at the right time for planting in April or May with enclosed planting instructions. The 6-to-12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge.

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 Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, by April 30, or go online to www.arborday.org.
