Free Tree Fridays Are Back All Across Arkansas

The Arkansas Department of Agriculture is once again having its Free Tree Fridays.

This is such a popular event as they make stops across Arkansas to hand out free bare-root seedlings of trees native to our area. Trees are beautiful and add so much beauty and shade to our yards and the community. Plus they make a wonderful habitat for wildlife. Free Tree Fridays are taking place now through the end of April.

Some of the trees given away will be Bald Cypress, Cherrybark Oak, Red Mulberry, River Birch, Shumard Oak and Sycamore.

Here is when and where to find your free tree!
