The City of Shelbyville Stormwater Utility, Shelbyville High School Earth Club and partners will once again host a tree give-away.  The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. 

The trees will be available from 8:00 am until noon. 

Just like the past eight years, the tree give-away event will coincide with the Shelby County Recycling District’s Clean Shelby Day Event also held at the Fairgrounds.

The tree seedlings come from the Department of Natural Resources Vallonia State Nursery.  Bald Cypress, Black Oak, Bur Oak, Buttonbush, Ninebark, Norway Spruce, Red Pine, Silver Maple, Swamp White Oak, Virginian Pine, White Oak and White Pine are available.

Over 10,000 tree seedlings have been distributed thanks to the Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District, Shelbyville High School Earth Club, City of Shelbyville Stormwater Utility, local tree hero Kris Schwickrath, the Shelby County Recycling District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

For more information or to volunteer to help with the give-away, please contact Derrick Byers dbyers@cityofshelbyvillein.com, 317.364.4990.
