ARBOR DAY FESTIVAL: THE GREENER THEY GET!

(April 12, 2008) I am so proud ... the City of Santa Clarita has received the Tree City USA Award by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The honor is bestowed upon cities throughout America who consistently meet the standards which are designed to ensure that a given community has a viable tree management plan and program.

The event is good to see the local resources out there to promote healthy and accessible ways to get green, but also how to make the stuff you plant stay green and thrive! They also have a kids play area. I like the wood painting and the leaf stenciling - Central Park off Bouquet actually has trees with big leaves. AND Smokey the Bear was walking around!

In addition to the educational sessions on recycling, planting, pruning, composting, etc. They let you PLANT a TREE and give away free trees, AND there is a RAFFLE! I love the raffles. You have a ticket, the numbers are read off, there is anticipation in the air... anyway, it is fun and good reason to sit on bales of hay in Central Park! A good day had by all....
