While it has been over 130 years since Arbor Day was founded, the simple idea of setting aside a special day for tree planting is now more important than ever. On Friday, May 9th Germantown Kids Klub spent several hours planting trees at Friedenfeld Park. Over 50 participants ages 5-12 took part in the event. The kids spent time planting crab apple & maple trees as well as participating in a forestry class instructed by Park & Recreation Commission Member, Mary Ellen Gray.
The Recreation Department and the Kids Klub Program felt that it was important to do their part to help plant trees that will last generations. For additional information on volunteer opportunities you can take part in contact the Recreation Department Office at 250-4710.
