Arbor Day Tree Planting

Environmental & Tree Advisory Commission to Hold Arbor Day Tree Planting

MAUMEE, OH –  The Maumee  Environmental and Tree Advisory Commission will honor Arbor Day with a special tree-planting ceremony at the Wolcott Heritage Center.

The tree planting will happen on the Wolcott campus near the Monclova Country Church, where 30 red bud trees have recently been planted. The trees offer an abundance of benefits, such as improved air quality, enhanced aesthetics, and wildlife habitats. Trees also support stormwater management because the canopy and root systems help slow down and absorb stormwater runoff, which is especially important in Maumee, given our initiative to reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration into our sanitary sewer system.

The two rows of red bud trees, which is also known as an allée, showcases the many new trees that have been planted on the Wolcott grounds. Maumee Mayor Jim MacDonald will present a proclamation and members of the commission will be on hand to answer questions about the tree planting program at the Wolcott Heritage Center and throughout the city.

Arbor Day was founded in Nebraska in 1872 as a special day set aside for the planting of trees.
