Various seedlings from the Indiana State Nursery will be made available free of charge to Logansport residents.
As part of the city's Indiana Bicentennial activities, the city will provide 200 free seedlings next month for planting on Earth Day, April 22.
Mayor Dave Kitchell says the city is making trees available not only because of the conservation benefits but the beautification of our community. He says there are many neighborhoods where older trees have died or been removed, and there are some gaps in the city where trees should be planted."
Kitchell said if there is strong demand for the seedlings, the city may offer free trees again next year.
While the Bicentennial Tree Program is not connected with an urban tree program the city is sponsoring downtown, it will give residential areas a chance to complement the pallet of fall colors throughout the city.
About 17 varieties of trees will be available, including black walnut, tulip and flowering dogwood. Trees can be reserved through the Mayor's Office.
