To commemorate 250 years of American history and to honor Kentucky's contributions, the Kentucky Historical Society has joined forces with the Kentucky Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (KSDAR) to plant a tulip poplar, Kentucky's official state tree, in each of Kentucky's 120 counties.
The Kentucky Division of Forestry is donating 120 tulip poplar trees specifically for the Liberty Tree plantings taking place in April, with dedication ceremonies scheduled from April to July 2025. Check with your county's judge-executive office for more information on upcoming ceremonies.
