Quitman County Conservation District Hosts Tree Giveaway Feb. 13 at Service Center

The Quitman County Soil & Water Conservation District held its Annual Tree Giveaway Feb. 13 at the Quitman County Service Center, running from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event name and exact hours were listed on the Mississippi Forestry Commission’s statewide Arbor Day events calendar, confirming the county program’s place on the state’s Arbor Day schedule.

Organizers identified the program on the Mississippi Forestry Commission calendar as the "Quitman County Soil & Water Conservation District Annual Tree Giveaway" and scheduled the distribution for the Quitman County Service Center location. The listing on the Forestry Commission calendar provided the date - February 13, 2026 - and the 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. time window for residents to pick up trees at the service center.

The Soil & Water Conservation District’s use of the Quitman County Service Center for the Feb. 13 giveaway underscores the district’s local role in implementing conservation activities in Quitman County. By registering the giveaway on the Mississippi Forestry Commission’s Arbor Day events calendar, the district linked its local distribution to the state-level observance of Arbor Day and made event details—organizer, date, time, and venue—available to county residents and state partners.

For civic and institutional observers, the documented scheduling of the giveaway highlights how local conservation districts and state forestry authorities coordinate outreach. The event’s appearance on the statewide Arbor Day calendar places Quitman County among communities that register their Arbor Day observances with the Mississippi Forestry Commission, and it clarifies where and when county residents could engage with the Quitman County Soil & Water Conservation District on tree planting and soil conservation initiatives.

The Feb. 13 listing also functions as a public record of the district’s outreach activity in early 2026. The explicit timing - 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Quitman County Service Center - gives voters and county stakeholders a documented instance of the district’s public programming during the Arbor Day period. Municipal and county officials tracking conservation programs can refer to the Mississippi Forestry Commission’s calendar entry as the authoritative scheduling note for this particular giveaway.
