Louisiana Arbor Day Tree Giveaway
Arbor Day is a nationally celebrated observance that encourages tree planting and care. Louisiana Arbor Day is always held the third Friday in January to coincide with our tree-planting season.
To celebrate Louisiana Arbor Day, Baton Rouge Green partners with the Burden Museum & Gardens' Arbor Day. The Burden team hosts a festival of activities, tree planting and learning at the Barton Arboretum (inside the Burden complex). In addition to the many horticulture, arboriculture and naturalist experts and vendors interacting with visitors, the BRG team gives away FREE native trees to attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. The trees are grown by the staff and volunteers at Burden.
Thanks to these partners who make the Tree Giveaway possible:
Baton Rouge Green's investment in the planting of trees on our roadways, neighborhoods, schools and parks for 30 years has inspired the community to achieve more. It is a privilege to be a part of this dedicated organization.
Annette Barton, Board of Directors
