Arbor Day is always observed on the last Friday in April. This year, it’s April 30. Arbor Day is a national holiday created to recognize the importance of trees and the need to plant the right species in the right location. The city is working on that list to help our residents be well informed. It’s also a great day to take a hike at Oakdale Nature Preserve or visit one of our many wonderful parks to notice the many different tree varieties that our community has to offer.
It’s hard to believe that May is already upon us. With that, I’d like to mention a few events that are coming as people are eager to be out and about. Please remember to respect one another with social distancing.
