The EAC and Shade Tree Commission celebrate Arbor Day each year with a tree planting in April. The trees are planted in a public open space that needs beautification or greening. The celebration includes planting trees and flowers, a brief dedication, and light refreshments. The public is invited to join in the free celebration and learn more about trees. If you are interested in volunteering for Arbor Day, please contact us at eac.abington@gmail.com
