WKU Public Broadcasting, McDonald's
Giving Away Seedlings
April 18, 2003
Bowling Green, Ky. - In celebration of National Arbor Day, Western Kentucky University's Public Broadcasting Service and 10 McDonald's locations in Kentucky and northern, Tennessee will be giving away free pine seedlings on Friday, April 25.
Trees conserve energy, beautify neighborhoods and bring songbirds close by. Trees also clean the air, keep the atmosphere in balance and help improve property values.
Planting and care instructions will be provided with the pine seedlings. More than 5,000 seedlings will be distributed at McDonald's in Bowling Green, Franklin, Scottsville, Smiths Grove, and Portland, Tenn. The seedlings are free-of-charge while supplies last.
This is the 14th consecutive year of the joint project between the locally-owned McDonald's and Western's Public Broadcasting Service. Stations include WKYU-FM in Bowling Green, WDCL-FM in Somerset, WKPB-FM in Henderson/Owensboro, WKUE-FM in Ellizabethtown and WKYU-PBS Channel 24 in Bowling Green.
