Tree Giveaway!

We allocated 22 bare-root trees to Wisconsin residents to be planted as part of our Leafing Out webinar series. In the spirit of species diversity, we offered five different species to the tree giveaway participants: Shadblow Serviceberry, Accolade Elm, Hackberry, Swamp White Oak, and Kentucky Coffeetree.

The Leafing Out webinar series was funded in part by an urban forestry grant from the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Forestry Program as authorized under s. 23.097, Wis. Stat.
