RITZVILLE – The city Tree Board will be celebrating Arbor Day at the City Park on Wednesday, April 14, and the public is invited. The event begins at 10 a.m.
Morning festivities include the presentation of colors by the Boy Scouts Troop 888, an Arbor Day Proclamation by the Mayor of Ritzville, and a presentation of the Tree City USA plaque by Garth Davis.
Davis represents the Washington State Conservation District.
According to Tree Board member Mike Schrag, Ritzville has been awarded this achievement 10 years in a row.
"The 21 students from the Ritzville 5th grade class will help plant three beautiful new trees in the city park," Schrag said. "By doing this project, they will learn how to properly prep the soil and plant the trees for success."
Schrag said each of the students would be given a tree seedling to take home to properly plant in their own yards.
"We encourage everyone to join the Ritzville City Tree Board in celebrating Arbor Day with all the beauty and benefits trees provide for us all," Schrag said.
