Arbor Day In Ogden
It is Arbor
Day, the tree day, April 30, 2011 when, in many states of our county, children
come together, and adults too, to plant trees. Nearly 150 years ago—to be more
exact, in the year 1872, the State of Nebraska set aside a day for the planting
of trees. Over 30 countries now celebrate this day.
The Ogden
Nature Center: Families are invited to Celebrate Arbor Day with special Arbor
Day programs for children, all ages, and their families. Come and learn about
the many species of trees, the stages in
the life of a tree, and how to identify
trees and the ways that humans and wildlife benefit from trees. Check-in is at
9 a.m. How A new tree planted may become a mighty oak.
Take a walking tour.
There will be a
tree care demonstration and participants will be invited to take an active role
in helping the environment by planting native trees, shrubs or grasses. The
day’s events include a photo contest, a children’s poster contest, exhibits and
activities. Businesses such as Valley View Nursery, Arbor Artists and The Care
of Trees will be on hand to teach proper tree-care techniques, and children can
construct wooden crafts provided by Home Depot.
