The Louisiana Forestry Association has announced that it is celebrating Arbor Day by giving away 1,000 seedlings on Friday, Jan. 19.
Trees given away this year will be the Bald Cypress, Overcup Oak, Water Oak and Willow Oak. The giveaway will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the LFA office, 2316 S. MacArthur Dive in Alexandria. You do not even have to get out of your car. Go through the driveway, have someone give you some of the seedlings and drive on through.
