The Arbor Day Foundation is offering a handy tree-care booklet this month, designed to help people plant and care for trees.

The user-friendly booklet features illustrations, colorful photos and easily understood descriptions.

The booklet provides details about the right way to plant and prune trees. It also includes tips on using shade trees and windbreaks to save on energy costs, attract songbirds, and create a living snow fence.

To receive the booklet, send a $3 check along with your name and address to Conservation Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410, or order online at arborday.org/conservationtrees.
