All around the nation, Arbor Day will be celebrated this Friday, April 25th. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, an estimated one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day in April 1872.
In their annual tradition, Ada Tree Commission is excited to visit with Ada 3rd graders on May 2nd to talk about Arbor Day and planting and caring for the trees around us. Mayor Davis Retterer once again has invited the students to be active artist participants in the celebration by drawing pictures of trees and creatures that attack trees.
