Third grade students from Glenwood Elementary School have been invited to join Mayor Pam Hemminger, staff members of the Parks and Recreation Department and Public Housing Department as well as the N.C. Forest Service to commemorate the occasion. Thank you to Chapel Hill Transit for providing transportation to and from the event for Ms. Candace Currin’s third grade class.
Arbor Day is traditionally observed in spring, however, in 2000, the Chapel Hill Town Council declared the first Friday after Nov. 15 to be Arbor Day in Chapel Hill. This year, the Town will plant six trees, two Red Maples, two White Oaks and two Red Buds at the North Columbia Public Housing Community.
Funding for the tree installation was provided by the Friends of Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation, a nonprofit organization that supports Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation by improving quality of life for all who live, work, and play in our community. For more information or to contribute to future tree planting efforts, visit friendsofchapelhillparks.org.
