Tomorrow 400 three-gallon trees will be given away at Valley Grande Walking Trail from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The giveaway is a partnership between International Paper and Abor Day Foundation, as well as Alabama Urban Forestry Association, Alabama Forestry Commission, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, and the Cemetery Preservation Group. 

Types of trees will include white oak, redbud, flowering dogwood, and bald cypress. 

"The goal is to improve the area by planting trees that help stop flooding and also provide shade, habitat for wildlife, floral and fall color," said a flyer for the event. 

Information on proper tree planting methods will be offered. 

Valley Grande Walking Trail is located at County Road 16.
