Get Free Trees and Wildflower Seeds on Arbor Day

 

Come join us and celebrate Arbor Day. On April 28, we are giving away 7,500 tree seedlings and 7,500 wildflower seed packets. Everyone who picks up a tree or seeds also will receive a coupon for a free entry into The Morton Arboretum in Lisle.

Stop by Tollway headquarters in Downers Grove or any one of our seven Tollway oases and pick yours up from 7 a.m. until supplies run out.

Follow us on Twitter for updates from locations when supplies are gone.

Choose from four varieties of tree species that are native to Illinois, including:

  • Shagbark Hickory
  • Red Oak
  • Pin Oak
  • Pecan

Or pick up seed packets with a mix of native wildflowers, including:

  • Wild bergamot (monarda fistulosa)
  • Black-eyed Susan (rudbeckia hirta)

Join the Tollway and support the Chicago Region Trees Initiative to build a healthier and more diverse urban forest and help restore and create habitat for monarch butterflies and other important pollinators.

Log Your Trees and Seeds

After planting your trees and seeds, we invite you to complete an online survey to log their location.

Those participating will be entered into a drawing to win a free, one-year family membership to The Morton Arborteum. Drawing will be held on May 15.
