POST FALLS - Money may not grow on trees, but that doesn't mean trees have no value.

The 11th annual Post Falls Tree Giveaway will be held on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Q'emiln Park.

More than 3,000 free landscaping-sized trees will be available to area residents. There is a limit of three per household.

"It's a good idea to show up early," said Preston Hill, Post Falls urban forester, referring to the popularity of the event.

Trees are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

An anonymous nursery made the donation secured by JUB Engineers and Pioneer Title. The trees are valued around $100 each.

"Businesses, the city, volunteers and residents really come together to make this happen," Hill said.

The event, which involves more than 70 volunteers, will be held rain or shine.

A full list of trees and shrubs to be distributed is available at www.postfallsidaho.org. Types include apple, poplar, birch, oak, dogwood, flowering plum and lilac. Tree experts will be present to assist residents on which trees and shrubs best meet their needs.

More than 30,000 trees have been distributed since the giveaway began.

Donations for the city's Tree Trust Fund, which is used to replant trees, education and grant matches, will be accepted.

An Arbor Day proclamation will be read at 8:30 a.m. The city will also receive its Tree City USA designation from The Arbor Day Foundation for excellence in urban forestry management.
