In Nashville, on April 9th, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture to Host “Free Tree Friday” in Honor of Arbor Day

LITTLE ROCK – In recognition of National Arbor Day, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Forestry Division will be hosting drive-through giveaways of bare root seedlings at various locations across the state each Friday in April.

“Adding trees to your yard or to a community forest is beneficial to all Arkansans, and Spring is an excellent time to plant trees,” said Kristine Kimbro, Urban and Community Forestry Coordinator for the Forestry Division. “What better way to recognize National Arbor Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Friday of April, than to provide free trees all month long.”

The Forestry Division will be hosting giveaways at various locations across the state. Here in Southwest Arkansas, a giveaway will be held on April 9 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Nashville Cash-Saver, 628 South Main Street, Nashville.

Additional locations may be added throughout the month. Visit http://agriculture.arkansas.gov/.../free-tree-friday-2021/ for giveaway locations and times or contact Kristine Kimbro, Urban and Community Forestry Coordinator, at Kristine.kimbro@agriculture.arkansas.gov.
