Pottawattamie County residents can purchase up to two trees online through Thursday, September 18th at 11:59 p.m. Trees will be available for pickup on Saturday, September 20th, between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at Harrah’s Casino at 1 Harrah’s Boulevard, Council Bluffs, IA 51501.

Species made available through this year’s sale include Black Hills Spruce, Blue Spruce, Bur Oak, Frontier Elm, Norway Spruce, October Glory Maple, Redbud, and Redmond Linden.
In addition to being beautiful, properly placed trees provide food and habitat for wildlife and help reduce energy costs by shading your home and creating a protective wind break.

Scholarship applications will be open through September 18th and are available online.
