Looking for a fun and educational way to celebrate Earth Day AND Arbor Day?
Did you know that Arbor Day originated in Nebraska and went “global” and this is the 150th Anniversary of Arbor Day?
The staff at the Haskell Ag Lab has "the perfect event" for the community to celebrate both days helping our Earth and planting trees for our environment.
The public is invited to the 'Roots to Leaves' – Earth Day/Arbor Day Celebration 2022 on Saturday, April 30 at the Haskell Ag Lab located at 57905 866 Road in Concord. The event time is from 1 to 4 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public event and will feature demonstrations on tree planting, tree and shrub pruning, a tour of the Northeast Arboretum, presentations on beginning vegetable gardening, plants and pollinators, soil testing and manure use in your garden. There are activities for youth, including creating a seed bomb, a scavenger hunt with prizes, recycling games and activities, and designing a pollinator hotel. There will also be a free tree giveaway until the supply of trees are gone.
