Today is Arbor Day! Again this year KDHL is helping with the Arbor Day tree giveaway. This afternoon from 3-5:30PM you can pick up free trees at a number of locations around Rice County: Lonsdale Feed Mill, Arrow Ace Hardware in Northfield, Wholesale Tire in Morristown, and at Lampert Lumber in Faribault. All species are adapted to our Minnesota weather including red pine, white spruce, red maple, silver maple and red dogwood.

Special thanks go out to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Arbor Day Seedling program for providing the trees for the Arbor Day tree giveaway. Also thanks to the sponsor locations and the Rice County Master Gardeners. The Rice County Master Gardeners will be at all the locations with instructions on how to plant and care for your trees. If you have any other tree questions, be sure to ask the Master Gardeners while you are there.
