The Tree Council is proud to once again host an Arbor Day Fest, which, like last year, will include fun and educational activities, live music, and a food truck. Attendees can learn about tree care and maintenance, and children can participate in tree-related crafts. The Tree Council will be handing out 11 different types of bareroot tree seedlings for families to plant in their yards (while supplies last) — eastern redbud, white flowering dogwood, red osier dogwood, serviceberry, buttonbush, magnolia, scarlet oak, river birch, tulip poplar, elderberry, and american plum. See here for photos and a description of each of these trees.
