Arbor Day

Arbor Day is an annual holiday that celebrates the role of trees in our lives and promotes tree planting and care.

In support of Arbor Day, the Legacy 4-H Club will be giving away tree saplings along with a small bag of mulch to encourage tree planting and beautification in the community.
