Arbor Day Event Planned for Friday, April 3, 2026

The Arbor Day event will begin at 4:00 p.m. at Liberty Park, with Mayor Dawson reading an Arbor Day proclamation followed by a tree sapling give away from the Missouri Department of Conservation. The Arbor Day Foundation website says, “While most holidays celebrate something that has already happened and is worth remembering, Arbor Day represents a hope for the future. The simple act of planting a tree represents a belief that the tree will grow to provide us with clean air and water, cooling shade, habitat for wildlife, healthier communities, and endless natural beauty — all for a better tomorrow.”
