CITY OF OWENSBORO TO CELEBRATE ARBOR DAY 2019
WITH TREE PLANTING
The City of Owensboro, Public Works Grounds Division, and Parks and Recreation Department will be planting twelve trees in celebration of Arbor Day 2019 at Legion Park on Friday, April 26, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. Mayor Pro Tem Larry Maglinger will present the annual Arbor Day proclamation. The public is invited to attend to celebrate Arbor Day with us.
Owensboro was named a 2018 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. “Tree City USA communities see the impact an urban forest has in a community first hand,” said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Additionally, recognition brings residents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it’s through volunteer engagement or public education.”
