To celebrate Earth Week, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ Trees for Kids program is offering free seedlings to schools and communities across Iowa. Trees for Kids offers a no-cost create-a-packet of 200 bare-root tree or shrub seedlings through the State Forest Nursery for every municipality and school building in Iowa. There are very few requirements for this packet, just complete this form and email to laura.wagner@dnr.iowa.gov. These seedlings may be planted on school grounds, at parks or on city property, or given to students or residents to plant in their yard. The deadline for submitting the free seedling request is April 1, 2017, and packet orders will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis until all 200 packets have been allocated. For more information, visit the DNR website.
