Signed up!

That's a good way to get people to do it. Don't tell them it's good for the environment, just emphasize the fact that they are getting two things for free and they'll sign up.

Cool!

You can pay $10 (six months) or $15 (one year) for a membership at the National Arbor Day Foundation and you'll get TEN trees (and you get to select your trees from an assortment.)

It's a really great deal if you've just purchased a house and are patient and want to watch trees grow.

The area around my residence is pretty well vegetated. In fact the landlord's biggest concern is clearing brush for Fire Season which this year looks very scary. But there is one area in front of my kitchen window where all attempts to grow something have failed (I suspect a previous resident dumped a toxic cooking experiment there). So, last week, while cutting up a dead tree elsewhere on the property, he used a big chunk of it for landscaping filler in my bare spot.

Of course, I had to name it:

Thanks, sciurus! I've signed up.

wendell, dude, I NEED that font! Where'd you get it??

Neat. I want trees!

Wish they'd tell you what you'll get. I've also resisted the Arbor Day membership because while trees are nice, and we really need two of them, they have to be certain kinds of street (parkway/terrace) trees.

You know, trees that greet you with a high five and say "How you doin' my man."

Anyway, the one I really want to be a disease-resistant elm. The other just has to be tallish because there's an older maple nearby.

Beyond that, the property is really all sewn up tree-wise. Power lines and buildings in the way, that sort of thing. Maybe if we end up having to tear down the barn, we'll have room for something a little significant. But right next to the barn right now is this ginormous silver maple.

Holy of Holies, it's available in Canada. I hope they ship my daughter some kind of leafy tree, we've all ready got three lodgepoles on the go.
