Saturday’s Arbor Day Celebration Includes 500 Tree Give Away

Trees NC will give away 500 Scotch Pine seedlings to observe NC Arbor Day 2019. The giveaway will be held Saturday, March 16th at Asheboro’s Bicentennial Park.

“Combining Arbor Day with St. Patrick’s Day has proven to be a great way to reach out to folks from across the region,” said Trees NC board member Owen George.  “Taking home a Scotch Pine to grow in your yard is a special treat. “ he said. 

 The tree give-away will begin Saturday at 2 PM, kicking off the Arbor Day Celebration.
