We are "The Village of Parks" and we're proud of our beautiful trees!
Come celebrate Arbor Day
as Mayor Cunningham and members of Council hold a tree planting ceremony in
Palmetto Bay Park.
Friday, January 17th at 10 am. Get in touch with your roots! Did you know that Arbor D
ay was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraskan journalist who later became the U.S. Agriculture Secretary under President Grover Cleveland? Morton was an enthusiastic promoter of tree planting, and had long championed the idea of a day dedicated to planting trees.
