The Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Tree Commission will give away more than 3,800 tree seedlings in this year’s annual tree giveaway, reports The Tuscaloosa News.
Together with the Alabama Power Service Organization and the Druid City Canopy Coalition, the commission will offer varieties such as southern sugar maple, crape myrtle, dogwood, southern magnolia, white oak, live oak, redbud and dahoon holly.
The giveaway will be held at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transporation in Tuscaloosa on Feb. 23 at 8 a.m.
Limits on the number of trees each resident can have will be imposed at the start of the giveaway, but these could be relaxed if some varieties become more popular than others, reports The Tuscaloosa News.
The trees are hoped to help replace those lost in the April 2011 tornado.
