Texarkana residents will have the chance to take home a free tree seedling as the Keep Texarkana Beautiful group hosts its 11th annual Arbor Day event on Saturday, March 1st. The drive-thru giveaway will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.—or until all seedlings are gone—at the designated pick-up location near the Rotary Splash Pad entrance entering from Texarkana’s Mall Drive.
Volunteers will be on hand to distribute the trees directly to vehicles, making it easy and convenient for community members to contribute to a greener future. This is drive-thru only, so please let the volunteers assist you.
This year’s available species include:
- Pecan
- Cherrybark Oak
- Baldcypress
- Nuttall Oak
- Shumard Oak
- Sawtooth Oak
Planting trees benefits the environment by improving air quality, providing shade, supporting wildlife, and enhancing the natural beauty of the community. Keep Texarkana Beautiful hopes this annual event will inspire residents to contribute to a healthier, greener future—one tree at a time.
For those interested, be sure to arrive early, as seedlings are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
