Texas, Louisiana Plan Community Tree Giveaways

Community tree giveaways are planned in San Angelo, Texas, and Shreveport, Louisiana, to help residents add trees to their neighborhoods. Keep San Angelo Beautiful will distribute up to two trees per person starting at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, while Shreveport Green will offer 500 free native trees from 9 a.m. to noon, with advance reservations encouraged. Organizers say planting trees can provide shade and other environmental and community benefits, while Shreveport’s event is intended to make trees accessible to families regardless of ability to pay.
