Arbor Day Proclamation
Chanhassen's Arbor Day celebration will be held on Saturday, May 3 this year. In
the morning, community groups will be cleaning neighborhood parks. At noon,
all volunteer groups will gather at the commons area between city hall and the
library for a thank you luncheon with the Mayor. Also in the morning, Bruce the
Bug Guy will be giving a presentation in the Wilder Room at 10:30 am. Master
Gardeners will be available at the library as well to diagnose plant problems.
Outdoors in the Arbor Day tent, kid's activities will include planting seeds to take
home and face painting as well as the opportunity to have their picture taken with
Woodsy the Owl. The tree sale this year offers the following selections for
purchase: sugar maple, red oak and Black Hills spruce. In order to properly
recognize the day, I am requesting that the City Council pass the attached
proclamation concerning Arbor Day.
