(WAND) - To celebrate the Macon County Conservation District's 60th anniversary, the district needs help planting 1,000 trees.

The district will host "Rooted in Community 1,000 Tree Planting Event" beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 18, at 7206 Sefton Road in Dalton City. 

Attendees will pay $20 to get one tree planted in a conservation area near Dalton City. Volunteering will be free. 

The goal is to transform the area from abandoned cropland back into a natural habitat.
