Residents Celebrate Arbor Day, Receive Free Trees

January 25, 2014

Escambia County Extension hosted Arbor Day celebration and tree giveaway event Friday morning at the Molino Community Center.

Residents were able to obtain a free mayhaw or willow oak tree in a one gallon container. They first attended a 10 minute tree-based educational session that included expert advice on site selection, proper planting, watering, and general care and maintenance.
