Plant a tree for Earth Day from the Salato Wildlife Center

Frankfort, KY - In honor of Earth Day, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort will offer free trees to visitors Saturday, April 22

The first 500 families will receive a 12- to 18-inch white ash sapling.

The Center opens at 10 a.m. Ash trees are an excellent source of cover for Kentucky wildlife species and are used in the making of Kentucky's own Louisville Slugger bats.

Planting trees renews wildlife habitat and adds value and beauty to your home. Limit one tree per family while supplies last.

The Salato Center will also be offering recycled crafts during the week of April 18-22. Stop by to learn how you can turn your trash into treasures.
