Arbor Day Events

The Public Works Department digs and places the tree. Then the Village President reads the proclamation. After the proclamation reading the children of the school will back fill the tree with soil and mulch.

The City of Lake Oswego celebrates the entire month of April as Lake Oswego Arbor Month. A variety of events and activities are planned throughout the month including tree pruning and tree planting workshops, oak woodland restoration, the Sustainability Resource Fair, a paper making craft for kids, and so much more. Visit the City's website for details on all the fun ways to celebrate!

The public is invited to participate in the Arbor Day Celebration hosted by the City Tree Board with the participation of the Gordon Elementary School Fourth Grade classes. A brief history of Arbor Day will be presented before students take turns receiving hands on training in tree planting. The history of the founding of the City of Gordon at the location of a Willow Tree will also be given. This is particularly exciting because this is a Main Street event, and a tree that will be seen by many for years to come.

Come help to plant trees in the beautiful Bull River watershed in northwestern Montana to improve fish and wildlife habitat! Find more details about the event on our website.

A Special Tribute to Rob Stephenson. This year, we’re shining a spotlight on the exceptional Rob Stephenson. For 27 years, Rob has been a true champion of our community's landscapes as a founding member of the Landscape Review Committee. With his thoughtful dedication he helped establish Arbor Day in McMinnville and played a key role in earning our Tree City USA designation. His work is a powerful reminder of how one person can create a lasting impact!
