Each spring, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture celebrates Arbor Day with its Free Tree Fridays campaign, distributing bare root seedlings to Arkansans at locations across the state.
The campaign encourages tree planting across Arkansas by offering free native seedlings to individuals and families.
The Department’s Free Tree Friday event has wrapped up for 2026. Visit this page next year for new event information and opportunities to participate.
Looking for more trees? Additional seedlings can be purchased in bulk through Baucum Nursery.
