WILMINGTON — A local organization is holding an Arbor Day celebration.
The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees is providing plantable, pre-potted trees to the community to celebrate the annual day of recognition for organizations and individuals to plant, care for, and appreciate trees. Distribution of the trees will begin on March 9 at 9 a.m. and last until 12 p.m. at Legion Stadium Pool, located at 2131 Carolina Beach Rd.
Six hundred containerized Crepe Myrtles, White Oaks and American Elms will be available to the public, made possible by funding from the Arbor Day Foundation. Free mulch will be provided, and those interested are advised to bring containers.
The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees is seeking volunteers to assist with unloading trees the day before the celebration, along with management of parking, transportation of trees to cars, providing tree planting instruction, and various additional tasks the day of the celebration.
