Many of you know I’m a big supporter of Ozark Greenways and there’s a great event coming up where you can help them repair some of the damage of the last few ice storms:
Ozark Greenways Invites Public
Reforest the Ozarks Tree Sale
9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday, April 19
(Or until trees run out!)
At the fairgrounds
The third “Reforest the Ozarks” tree sale will take place at the Missouri Entertainment and Event Center, 3001 N. Grant, from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday, April 19, (or until trees run out). This effort is a partnership between Ozark Greenways and KOLR10, to sell native species trees at a very low cost to the public in hopes of replenishing as much of the ice storm tree loss Springfield has experienced over the past two winters.
Four native species will be available for $10, including a flowering cherry, redbud, red maple and swamp white oak. Quantities will be limited to three trees per vehicle. We are confident the trees will sell fast, so the public is advised to come early.
Mulch and proper tree planting/tree care information will be available, and donations are always welcome.
You can also get more info on the Ozark Greenways website.
