St. Bernard Parish Government to distribute free oak, cypress bare-root
seedlings



St. Bernard Parish Government will host a live oak and bald cypress seedling
giveaway on Saturday, January 29th from 9 a.m. to noon at the Community
Playground Amphitheater in Torres Park at 8201 W. Judge Perez Drive in
Chalmette.



Parish residents are welcome to come by to pick up the seedlings though they
are reminded to plant them responsibly on their property. Trees should not
be planted between the sidewalk and the street due to potential
destabilization caused by the trees' root system.



The tree grant was provided by the Apache Corporation and was procured by
the parish government's Grants Department. Leftover seedlings will be
planted throughout the parish in areas that suffered large-scale loss of
trees from Hurricane Katrina.



For more information, please contact the Grants Department at (504)
278-1033.
