The City of Champaign marked Arbor Day 2024 by planting two trees with students from Robeson Elementary School. The event took place on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 1 – 2 p.m., as a rescheduled activity due to unfavorable weather conditions on Arbor Day, April 26.

Public Works Forestry staff joined hands with the enthusiastic students to plant the trees, showcasing a commitment to environmental sustainability and community involvement.

Furthermore, the City of Champaign proudly commemorates its 39th anniversary as a member of the prestigious Tree City USA Program. Both the Arbor Day and the Tree City USA initiatives are overseen by the Arbor Day Foundation, highlighting the city's ongoing dedication to fostering green spaces and promoting environmental stewardship.

The collaborative effort between the Public Works Forestry staff and the students not only enhances the urban landscape but also instills a sense of environmental responsibility in the younger generation.

As the city continues to prioritize environmental initiatives, events like the Arbor Day tree planting serve as reminders of the importance of preserving and nurturing our natural surroundings for future generations to enjoy.
