The National Arbor Day Foundation has announced a special new campaign to assist in tree recovery efforts for areas that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Through the KATRINA TREE RECOVERY CAMPAIGN, the Arbor Day Foundation, in cooperation with the National Audubon Society, is offering people across America the opportunity to support replanting trees in coastal Mississippi and Louisiana, and begin the reforestation of neighborhoods and cities across the region. For every $10 donated to the KATRINA TREE RECOVERY CAMPAIGN, the Foundation will contribute 10 trees to be planted by Katrina victims.
The tree species to be planted include Bald Cypress, Red Maple, Eastern Red Cedar and Red Oak. Supporters will not only have the satisfaction of donating these trees to people in need, but the Arbor Day Foundation will also provide to each donor of $10 or more a free membership, including a subscription to the Foundation’s bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book with information about tree planting and care.
To help hurricane victims replant these devastated areas, send your contribution to the KATRINA TREE RECOVERY CAMPAIGN, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, or contribute online at arborday.org/katrina.
