10 Trees...for Free!

Celebrate Arbor Day on April 27 by planting a tree or two...or

more! For just $10 - the cost of a 6 month membership - the

National Arbor Day Foundation will send you 10 free trees.


You can choose flowering trees, an all Redbud package, trees for

fall color or one of several other options. You'll receive 6 to 12

inch dormant, bare-rooted trees at the proper planting time for your

area, along with complete instructions.


No room for 10 trees in your yard? Ask about planting trees at your

house of worship or your childs school.



Top 5 reasons to plant a tree;

1.) Trees boost the market value of your home.

2.) One young tree has the cooling effect of 20 air conditioners.

3.) Trees can cut your heating costs by 20 to 50%, and cooling costs by 30%.

4.) In lab tests, a tree filled scene reduced test subjects' stress within 5 minutes.

5.) One acre of trees absorbs 6 tons of carbon dioxide and produces

4 tons of oxygen. That's enough fresh air to sustain 18 people for a year.
