last-chance-to-sign-up-kids-for-free-trees-this-week-at-the-pulaski-co-public-library
The Pulaski County Public Library is welcoming spring by partnering with Neighborhood Forest to provide free trees for kids.
To sign your child up for their free tree or learn more go to https://www.pulaskicounty.lib.in.us/blog.../free-trees-kids and follow the links from that page. The deadline for sign up to participate, however, is this Friday, March 15.
Neighborhood Forest was started in 2010 as a nonprofit organization that gives kids across the US free trees every Earth Day, reaching over 1,500 schools, libraries, and youth groups, and engaging with over 500,000 families each year.
Denise Hettinger, head librarian at the Pulaski County Public Library said although this is their library's first year participating in the program, the response has been bigger than she initially expected.

Trees for participants will be shipped to the library during the third or fourth week of April. Although the idea of the free trees were centered around celebrating Earth Day, Hettinger said she is finding many different reason's why parents are signing their kids up for the free trees.

Tree species will be announced in mid-to-late-March. Neighborhood Forest aims to provide trees native to the region being served.
