Everyone who joins the Arbor Day Foundation during August 2008 will receive 10 free white flowering dogwood trees.

The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation's Tree for America campaign, a program dedicated to environmental stewardship through the planting of trees.

The trees will be shipped postpaid between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10, at the right time for planting. The 6 to 12 inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Planting instructions are enclosed with each shipment of trees.

Members of the Arbor Day Foundation will also receive The Tree Book, which includes information abut tree planting and care.

To receive the free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to Ten Dogwoods, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, by August 31, or join online at www.arborday.org.
