Residents of ten central Iowa counties will be able to spruce up their yards with new, high-quality trees for planting this fall with a special deal through a non-profit that’s headquartered in Marion. Megan Schneider, director of Des Moines area programs of Trees Forever, says they’re offering eight species of trees that can be ordered now for pickup early next month.
The trees will be in three-gallon containers and will stand between one and five feet tall.
Participating counties in the initiative include: Boone, Story, Marshall, Guthrie, Dallas, Polk, Jasper, Madison, Warren, and Marion. Property owners can reserve up to five trees at 20-dollars each to be picked up Saturday, October 10th at the distribution event in Des Moines.
This tree distribution is part of the One Million Trees Central Iowa initiative, a goal to plant, preserve, and create policy to expand the tree canopy in central Iowa by one million trees through 2032. Reserve a tree by visiting TreesForever.org/Adopt.
