Malibu : Free Tree Seedlings Offered
Three Los Angeles County fire stations in Malibu and one in Topanga have begun distributing tree seedlings in a program designed to reduce soil erosion and conserve water, a spokesman for Supervisor Mike Antonovich said.
The program, which involves about two dozen fire stations countywide, is part of an effort by the county to combat drought conditions by reducing soil erosion and developing wind breaks, spokesman Dawson Oppenheimer said.
Information on how to obtain the free seedlings in the Malibu and Topanga areas may be obtained by calling the county Malibu Forestry Unit at (818) 347-1904.
