MANSFIELD — The City of Mansfield Shade Tree Commission has announced the second program offered to celebrate Arbor Day 2025 and their participation in the 29th annual
Earth Stewardship Celebration.
On Friday, May 16 at 1 p.m., Mayor Jodie Perry and representatives of the Shade Tree Commission will visit Malabar Intermediate School 4th grade students to give a brief presentation on the history and importance of Arbor Day, and discuss the importance of trees in an urban setting.
The Richland Soil & Water Conservation District generously donated tree seedlings to be distributed to the students.
The Shade Tree Commission, as part of its annual work plan, continues to provide education to our local schools as part of their annual Arbor Day Celebration.
The Shade Tree Commission is pleased to provide this hands-on educational activity to the students, demonstrating to our youth the importance of volunteerism and the benefits of urban forestry in our community, while they celebrate Arbor Day 2025.
