The City of Shelbyville Stormwater Utility and Shelbyville High School Earth Club will host the annual tree giveaway at Blue River Memorial Park on Saturday.
The giveaway event will begin at 8:30 a.m. after the start of the 5K Tree Trot. You do not have to participate in the Tree Trot to take advantage of the free tree seedlings. The giveaway will be located near the Splash Pad at Blue River Memorial Park, 775 Lee Blvd.
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.
