PORTSMOUTH - The city celebrated Arbor Day on Friday, April 30 with a proclamation reading and planting of trees around the city.
On Friday morning, City Manager Karen Conard read the Mayor’s Arbor Day Proclamation outside City Hall where a new dawn redwood was planted as a legacy tree by the Parks and Greenery Division and Trees and Public Greenery Committee.
The redwood is one of 150 trees being planted around Portsmouth in accordance with budgeted allocations for the urban forest. Immediately following the redwood planting the city tree crew met up with a crew from Northeast Shade Tree of Greenland, which donated a day of labor to the city for its own celebration of Arbor Day.
