To celebrate the city’s 40th consecutive year being designated a “Tree City,” this year’s ceremony will include remarks from Mayor Nancy Sikes-Kline, the planting of one Live Oak tree by city officials, followed by remarks from the Street Tree Advisory Committee (STAC) Chair, Freemont Latimer, and a poetry reading by the City’s Poet Laureate, Norma Sherry.
In addition to the sapling distribution at the Twine Park ceremony, there will be a drive-thru distribution of saplings from 10:00am to 2:00pm, or while supplies last, via the W. Castillo Drive Entrance of the Historic Downtown Parking Facility. This year, City staff will be giving away Persimmon and Flatwood Plum saplings.
