City of Atlantic Beach recently issued the following announcement.
The City of Atlantic Beach welcomes you to celebrate Arbor Day with us on Friday, Jan. 21. Our festivities will begin in front of the police station at 9 a.m. with opening remarks and a flag-raising by the mayor and the Environmental Stewardship Committee members. If you can’t attend in person, you can watch us on Facebook Live. At 9:45 a.m., we’ll meet at Dutton Island for our Heritage Tree dedication, and then we are planting a tree in each Commission district.
Arbor Day, much like Earth Day, celebrates nature. Its purpose is to encourage people to plant trees, and many communities traditionally take the opportunity to organize tree-planting and litter-collecting events on or around the holiday.
The City is committed to preserving and adding our tree canopy. It is one of the many reasons this is a great place to live, work, and play.
If you are interested in a free tree for your front yard, visit www.coab.us/adoptatree.
