Trees for America
The Trees for America program
is based upon the Arbor Day
Foundation’
s belief that each of
us has a responsibility for wise
environmental stewardship.
Each year the Foundation dis-
tributes millions of trees, fosters
tree-care education and works
to help reforest thousands of
fire-ravaged acres in National
Forests.
The Arbor Day Foundation
will brighten up your fall by
offering 10 colorful trees and
bushes when you join the orga-
nization in October.
The free trees are part of
the nonprofit Arbor Day
Foundation’
s Trees for America
campaign.
The trees will be shipped
postpaid at the right time for
planting, between Nov. 1 and
Dec. 10. The 6- to 12-inch trees
are guaranteed to grow or they
will be replaced free. Planting
instructions will be enclosed
with each shipment of trees.
To receive your free trees,
visit arborday.org/october or
send a $10 membership contri-
bution by Oct. 31 to Arbor Day
Foundation, 10 Colorful Trees
and Bushes, 100 Arbor Ave.
Nebraska City, NE 68410.
Medication Take-Back Oct. 25
Every day, more people die
from opioid-related overdoses
than from car accidents or
gun violence. According to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 72,000 Ameri-
cans died from drug overdoses
in 2017 with opioids account-
ing for nearly 68 percent of
these deaths. To turn the tide
on the nation’
s opioid epidem-
ic, community members need
a safe and convenient way to
dispose of unused medications.
Beaumont Health and local
law enforcement agencies are
encouraging people to drop
off unused or expired pre-
scribed medications at one of
six hospital locations Friday,
Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. until 2
p.m. This also includes over-
the-counter medications and
other drugs. No questions
asked. Organizers prefer pills
be in a plastic baggie. Most
locations will only accept pills.
Two locations — Beaumont
Hospital, Royal Oak and
Beaumont Hospital, Trenton
— will also accept medical
sharps. Other participating
sites include, Beaumont
Hospital, Dearborn, Beaumont
Hospital, Farmington Hills,
Beaumont Hospital, Taylor
and Beaumont Hospital,
Wayne.
