The 1,000 tree seedlings come from the Department of Natural Resources Vallonia State Nursery. This year, offerings will include White Pine, Black Cherry, Black Oak, Swamp Chestnut Oak, Tulip Tree, Bald Cypress, Ninebark and Pawpaw.
Following the giveaway and 5K event, volunteers will work on the Native Tree Walk located around the cross country course at Blue River Memorial Park.
