Tree Give-Away March 22

Our native tree give-away will be this Friday, March 22 from 5:30 - 7:00 pm (please do not arrive early, we will not distribute until 5:30). As usual, trees will be available at two sites: Seneca State Park and at 14909 Spring Meadows Drive (Jeff and Merikay's home). Trees not given out on Friday will be available Saturday just at 14909 Spring Meadows Drive from 10 am to noon. This is the 10th year the Smiths have organized this event for Seneca Creek/Muddy Branch.

This year we'll have 450 trees -- all native seedlings. If planted immediately and protected from deer (and watered as needed) they will grow vigorously and in a five years or so be healthier than large (expensive) container grown trees. This year's picks: pin oak, serviceberry, redbud, river birch, hazelnut, black cherry, indigobush, silky dogwood, and American sycamore.
