Arbor Day
The 2017 Arbor Day Celebration took place at Lake Hiawatha Park on April 28. The FREE festival-style event included tree-themed activities and educational opportunities, music, food, beer and tree planting trees. This event was possible thanks to People for Parks, Brewing a Better Forest and Pat's Tap and numerous community partners. Community members & MPRB planted more than 300 trees in the surrounding parkland.
People for Parks has a long history of supporting our urban forest. Annually, People for Parks provides funding for tree planting in Minneapolis Parks. A majority of tree planting funds were made possible by a bequest by Carl Remick Jr. designated for reforestation. Click to make a gift to the Myles Johnson Arbor Day Fund. Previous Arbor Day plantings have been funded in Logan Park, St. Anthony Park, East Phillips Park, Pearl Park, Jordan Park, Victory Memorial Drive, Thomas Lowry Park, and Folwell Park. Many of these tree plantings were a partnership with Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board Forestry Department and local schools.
