Arbor Day Tree Giveaway

Once again, the WCCB will be offering free tree seedlings to commemorate Arbor Day! Although Arbor Day is on April 25th, our Giveaway will be held on April 18th. The seedlings that will be offered this year are Wild Plum, Red Oak, Eastern White Pine, and Northern Pecan. Seedlings will be limited to 2 per person and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Trees are a wonderful way to provide shade, beauty, and wildlife habitat, plus they help to clean our air. So, we hope you'll take advantage of this annual event!
