​Plant a Tree and Help Save the Planet – TAVI’s “25 for 250” Tree Giveaway

As part of our nation’s Semiquincentennial celebration, TAVI is giving away 25 trees to mark the occasion. The trees, which are between 3 and 4 feet tall (the ideal size for quickly establishing their root systems), come with complete planting instructions, and are native species to our area. The trees are an assortment of red maple, beech, tulip poplar, and sweet gum. Mature height ranges from 40 to over 100 feet, depending on species and planting location. While trees have been described as the “lungs of the planet,” their roles in air quality, carbon sequestration, water transpiration, and erosion control are all critical.

If you would like the opportunity to take home and plant one of these free trees, go to the TAVI website (www.allentownvinj.org) and register today. Winners will be selected by random drawing at the end of September.
