City of Marion issued the following announcement on Mar. 8.
Tree plantings, crafts and other family-friendly activities are planned during the Marion Tree Board’s rescheduled 2022 Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 9 from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the Marion Community Building Park.
The free event will kick off with the presentation of an Arbor Day proclamation prepared by Marion Mayor Steve Little. Following the proclamation, members of the public are invited to help plant 4 trees in the recently upgraded park.
City Arborist Lawrence Moore and Marion Tree Board Members will be on site to assist the public with the tree plantings and explain why trees are so important to us all.
The first 100 visitors to this year’s Arbor Day event will receive a commemorative t-shirt. They’ll also get to learn more about the many hiking trails open in McDowell County, how to plant seeds and have a chance to participate in tree-themed hands-on activities and crafts.
