Featured Community Event: Parker Arbor Day Celebration - 9 AM
About this event
Featured Community Event: Parker Arbor Day Celebration in-person.
Seedling trees and various perennial flowers will be given away. Be sure to stop by the arborist table and meet the Town’s Parks and Forestry team. They can answer questions about tree planting, pruning and tree selection. Learn how to take care of your trees and make them last. Additional vendors will be on-hand to offer environmental information, kids will enjoy a fun craft courtesy of Parker Recreation and Douglas County Libraries, and food trucks will be onsite for purchase!
Arbor Day is a fun educational event for the whole family and is an important piece to keeping Parker named as a “Tree City USA.” The Tree City USA® program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. Parker has been named as a Tree City USA each year since 1994! In order to maintain this title, a commitment must be made to enhance the public’s awareness of trees within the community through events and educational opportunities such as the annual Arbor Day Celebration. The Town must also spend at least $2 per resident on tree care such as planting and pruning.
This event will be held rain, snow or shine. Giveaway items are first-come, first-served, while supplies last.
An instructional video on how to plant a tree, presented by Parker’s Parks and Recreation Department, is available
here.
