BR Green, Bofinger’s & Lamar to give away 400 FREE TREES for LA Arbor Day on Saturday, Jan 22

For our FIRST ANNU­AL Tree Give­away in cel­e­bra­tion of Louisiana Arbor Day, Baton Rouge Green will be giv­ing away 400 FREE TREES thanks to these two gen­er­ous, for­ward-think­ing BR-based com­pa­nies: Bofinger’s Tree Ser­vice & Con­sul­tants and Lamar Adver­tis­ing. These groups have com­mit­ted to work toward replac­ing A TREE FOR A TREE for every removal that their work requires through­out the year.

All trees, in 10 vari­eties (see list below), will be native species spe­cial­ly select­ed for their abil­i­ty to work hard in our urban land­scapes, pro­duc­ing boun­ti­ful ecoben­e­fits and health ben­e­fits for our citizens.
