Arbor Day Foundation Launches Fall Membership Drive Offering 10 Free Trees to Those Who Join
Limited-time offer helps Americans plant trees during one of the best times of year
The Arbor Day Foundation is inviting people across the country to make a lasting impact where they live through its annual fall membership drive, offering 10 free trees with every new membership and helping people discover that fall is one of the best times of year to plant.
While spring is often seen as peak planting season, experts say fall provides ideal conditions for young trees to establish strong root systems before winter dormancy, which can set them up for healthier growth in the spring.
The opportunity comes at a time when Americans overwhelmingly recognize the value of trees in their communities, but far fewer are taking the step to plant them. Research from the Foundation’s Canopy Report shows that most Americans want to live in neighborhoods with more trees, yet only a minority report having planted a tree in the past year.
