IN DNR, Division of Fish & Wildlife: For Indiana Arbor Day, the Indiana DNR tree seedling nurseries provide a tree seedling for each Indiana third grade student whose school and teachers wish to participate in the Arbor Day program.

Long Description

A letter is mailed to every Indiana school in January of each year. To receive a tree seedling for every third grader, the school’s Arbor Day coordinator or principal must return the postcard to Vallonia Nursery by the date indicated in the letter.

Each Indiana school may also receive an Arbor Day seedling to plant on the school grounds. The seedling is ordered at the same time as the third grade seedlings.

To ensure your school receives its third grade trees and school seedling, be sure to return the postcard from the DNR by the date indicated!

To find out more, view the Indiana Department of Natural Resources webpage on Indiana Arbor Day Free seedlings.

Arbor Day History: It takes a lot of Yeses to plant 500 million trees. That’s why when you commit to celebrating Arbor Day, you’re doing more than helping put trees in the ground. You’re saying Yes to a healthier world. So grab your gardening gloves and join an event in your area, plant a tree in your yard, or hit the donate button—however you say it, your Yes makes a difference.
