CENTRAL POINT, Ore – Monday is Earth Day and if you’re interested in testing out your “green thumb”, the Grange Co-op is giving away free trees Saturday.

Every year Grange Co-op locations throughout the Northwest give out free trees to customers along with advice on helping the plants thrive.

This year they expect to hand out over 1,700 trees.

“It’s our way of supporting Earth Day, being a part of the community and helping it become a better place to live,” said Richard Wallace, General Manager in Central Point.

There will be a variety of trees up for grabs including Red Maple, Japanese Maple, Eastern Red Bud and Russian Dogwood. There will be a limit of one-per-household.
