Trees NC Arbor Day Celebration - 700 Tree Giveaway!

Trees NC in partnership with Randolph Electric Membership Corporation and the City of Asheboro will give away 700 White Dogwood and White Oak seedlings  as part of the 2018 NC Arbor Day Celebration, to be held Saturday, March 17th at Asheboro’s Bicentennial Park.

“I love the fact that we will be providing trees for both full sun and shade locations,” said Ben Grandon, Trees NC board member and Randolph County Cooperative Extension Agent for Agriculture and Horticulture.  “If you have a spot with full sun the White Oaks are a good fit, while White Dogwoods  are for locations with shade, “ he said. 

 The tree give-away will begin Saturday at 1:30 PM, kicking off the Arbor Day Celebration.   

“NC Arbor Day helps us to remember the important role that trees play in our lives,” said Grandon.  

The NC Arbor Day Celebration promises both fun and educational opportunities for the entire family and will include educational tables from local environmental organizations.   This year’s Celebration  will take place in coordination with the Downtown Asheboro St. Patrick’s Day Celebration.

Sponsors for this year’s event include Trees NC, Randolph Electric Membership Corporation, Keep Randolph County Beautiful, UNITE Club at Charles W. McCrary Elementary School, Four Saints Brewing Company and The Courier-Tribune.
