Tri-Basin NRD offers parents of newborn babies in Gosper, Phelps, and Kearney counties a free tree to commemorate their child's birth.

Sizes of the trees range from 1.5 to 3 feet. Trees include varieties such as Norway Maple and Little Leaf Linden.

Contact Nate Munter at nmunter@tribasinnrd.org with your name, address, phone number and the baby's birth date. The following April, Nate will contact you to pick up your "baby tree." If you have questions about the Trees for Newborns Program, call Tri-Basin NRD at 1-877-995-6688 or email nmunter@tribasinnrd.org.
