The North Liberty Lions Club has received 200 seedlings from the State Forest Nursery through a grant from Iowa DNR, and they want to give them away.

Seedlings are now available for pre-reservation via Eventbrite and will be available for pick-up 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 9, 2021, at The First United Methodist Church, 85 N Jones Blvd. Any trees not claimed by 7 p.m. that day will become available to the public on a first come first serve basis until 8 p.m. or while supplies last.

The Iowa native seedlings will be about 25 inches tall and come in a variety of white oak, red oak and sugar maple. Select your tree variety upon pick-up at the event on April 9. Each tree will come with basic planting and care instructions from State Forest Nursery. Community members do not have to have lost trees during the derecho to receive a tree from this event.
