Those who want a free tree seedling should call 260-427-6000 during normal business hours now through April 23 to reserve a seedling. The bare root seedlings must be picked up on Friday, April 25, from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Kettler Park located at Buell Drive and Paulding Road.<\/p>\n<p>Trees are an asset to communities when planted properly and maintained. They help improve visual appeal in a neighborhood, increase property values, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants and provide habitat for wildlife, among many benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inclement Weather Procedure<\/strong>: Any program changes, facility closures or other weather-related adjustments will be posted to the FWPRD social media pages and website. Text alerts will be sent (to those that have opted-in to this service). If the Mayor declares an emergency, all Parks and Recreation facilities and programs will be closed or canceled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/bc\/93635.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Parks and Recreation Director, Al Moll, speaks during the McCulloch Park rededication.
