These (10 trees for $10)are great little trees that require much care, but are worth it when they mature!  The arbor day site has a lot of great tree planting and placement guides.  We are trying to use these when talking to others about trees in our community.  There are many trees coming down and not generally being replaced.  Many people think trees are a bother and forget the environmental, socio-economic, and just plain quality of life aspects of the tall green natural infrastructure…  I am dumbfounded by the enormous amount of complaints received about trees.  Were they are (still) they are many times taken for granted.  Please help encourage others to plant a tree when removing a tree…  Enjoy Trees!

Great idea. But I get disapointed when i find out that these kind of organizations are only in America. I live in Australia and can not join. I am writing letters to organizations like these asking if they can spread their help to overseas contries like australia.

UPDATE!!!! My 10 trees are GROWING!!! I have never had much luck with little saplings, but they weathered the winter and have begun to sprout out with new growth.  I think they will make it.  Also we planted 6 more trees (maples) and 4 shrubs this weekend.  We are trying to reforest a large part of our yard that was mowed…  Save gas, save time, and create habitat!!!  The bugs are enjoying the meadow like conditions already!!!

what a cool idea.

UPDATE!!  Summer is winding down here.  My little trees had a great summer.  Some are out is the grassy yard and some are in a meadow that my husband and I are letting forest up.  It was grass lawn when we moved here and I heard about letting your lawn go to meadow.  The critters have really liked the meadow.  It has also added a roomy personal garden effect to our yard. 

The 10 trees plus the 20 evergreens that I bought from the state nursery have really grown this summer.  Though still small, you can see them budding and gearing up for next year’s growth.

We had some problems with Gypsy Moths this year.  Our beautiful oaks had really suffered.  Not complete defoliation, but the woods are very thin as a result.  We contacted the state natural resource department about assisting us with the removal of the moths, but our 3 acre forest is too small for their program.  This is a growing problem, because many of the US forests are subdivided in to under 10 acre lots.  Thus reducing the likely hood of contiguous forests.  Hopefully we are part of a new trend by ADDING to our little forest…
