Free Wildbird Garden Trees

Ten free wildbird garden trees will be given to each person who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during July. The free trees are part of the nonprofit foundation’s “Trees for America” campaign.

The tree package includes a red oak, a sargent crab, a Washington hawthorn, two red cedars, a bur oak, an arrowwood Viburnum, two Canadian hemlocks, and a gray dogwood.

“These trees and shrubs provide cover, nesting sites, and food for more than 100 bird species,” said John Rosenow, the foundation’s president.

The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting between October 15 and December 10 with enclosed planting instructions. The six- to twelve-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge.

Members also receive a subscription to the foundation’s colorful bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, with information about tree planting and care.

To receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to Wildbird Garden Trees, National Arbor Day Foundation, Nebraska City, NE 68410. Contributions must be received by July 31.
