A month from today on April 17, the City of Bentonville is preparing to donate 500 trees to Bentonville residents. Why? The goal is to increase the city’s overall tree canopy on residential properties, to promote a healthier environment, and improve the physical appearance and visual character of the built environment.

• The trees will be reserved for Bentonville residents only who live within the city limits. Limit two trees per household. Pre-registion is encouraged, you can do that HERE. Otherwise, the tree selection is first come, first serve. Registration opens at 10am TODAY.

• Location, Location, Location! The city advises residents to never plant trees under power lines, which would eventually result in their removal to prevent obstruction or access to the power line.

• There IS a right way to plant a tree. Check out Right Tree, Right Place, The Arbor Day Foundation's tree planting guide.

• The event is sponsored by by the City’s Tree & Landscape Advisory Committee, the Bentonville Parks Conservancy, and the Walton Family Foundation. More information about the giveaway can be found HERE.

The Spring Tree Giveaway will take place on April 17, 2021, from 8:00am to 10:00am at the City of Bentonville Municipal Complex, 3200 SW Municipal Drive.
