BACKGROUND:
As part of the Parks and Recreation Department’s commitment to maintaining the Tree City status from the Arbor Day Foundation, the City Council will have to officially recognize Arbor Day with a proclamation. At the October 22, 2024 meeting, the City Council will recognize the Fall Texas Arbor Day held on the first Friday in November.
In addition to recognizing Arbor Day in November, staff would like to discuss a tree-planting ceremony with the Board to be held on November 1, 2024.
Other tree activities to be held in October include the tree giveaway being conducted by the Public Works Department. On Saturday, October 12, 2024, 200 trees will be given away to residents at the Brookhaven College parking lot.
