The tree seedling and birdhouse giveaway held Tuesday morning by the Caldwell County Conservation District was another huge success.
The program was scheduled to begin at 8:30 and by 7:30 there were already vehicles lined up in the parking lot ready to pick up the items.
Hannah Feagan with the Conservation District shared it was a great response to the offer of trees and birdhouses and thanked the Caldwell County High School Agriculture Department for making the birdhouses.
