David Chaney hands Kelley Ables a bag of trees Friday morning outside the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service Office at 2660 Sherman Ave. The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District handed out about 6,000 bald cypress, cherry bark oak, dogwood, green ash, loblolly pine, red maple and Southern magnolia trees. The giveaway was part of national Tree Planting Week, which is sponsored by the Mississippi Association of Conservation Districts. (The Vicksburg Post/PAT SHANNAHAN)
