To celebrate Arbor Day, the Town of Chapel Hill will hold a tree-planting ceremony Friday, Nov. 20 at Southern Community Park.
During the ceremony, the town will receive a Tree City USA Award from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources. Chapel Hill Town council members Jim Ward and Ed Harrison will be present to receive the award and to read the Arbor Day Proclamation. Students from Scroggs Elementary School also will participate in the celebration and tree planting.
This is the 10th year that Chapel Hill has received national recognition as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. For more information, contact Emily Cameron at the Town of Chapel Hill Public Works Department, 969-5100.
