The world needs more trees, and you need at least one, right? Only 350 homeowners will be able to grab a cheap tree, though.

Even though Arbor Day was in April, the Arbor Day Foundation doesn't just work that one day, like Santa Claus. Speaking of which, it will seem a little bit like Christmas when you get to take home a tree for only $25 while helping out the Choice City.

By planting these 350 trees, residents will be helping the City of Fort Collins by helping to provide a flood control system to protect the city's water quality and reduce stormwater runoff (especially during small stream events.)

It's all a part of the Arbor Day Foundation's big 'Community Canopy' program, in collaboration with the City of Fort Collins’ Forestry Division and the Natural Area Department’s 'Nature in the City' program.
