We Plant It Forward will be stationed out in front of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences giving out tree seedlings on March 11, 2017, 9am-4pm.
People who have received trees from years past report that their trees are thriving. Our tree seedlings come from the North Carolina Forest Service Nursery. We Plant It Forward volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions people have about planting trees. Trees provide many benefits to the community include providing shade, producing oxygen, capturing carbon, and gracing us with beauty.
