Earth Day Celebration

Thank you!

Arbor Day and Earth Day were huge successes this year. Thanks to everyone who participated. We will post 2027 information in early 2027.

Arbor Day

Before Earth Day, celebrate Arbor Day! Plants, such as trees and flowers, improve air quality, help reduce drought, and beautify any yard. To help spread the green, we are teaming up with C3 for a one-of-a-kind event on Friday, April 17. Visit our recreation centers to learn about our initiatives, get FREE seed packets, and enter a raffle for a chance to win a FREE tree! Supplies are limited, so don't miss out.

Visit us next year for another seed giveaway!

FREE Seeds Giveaway

You can grab either a seed packet of:

  • Green Peppers
  • Butterfly Garden Mix: variety of spring and summer blooms

Seed packets will be available for pickup until supplies last.

FREE Tree Raffle

Each recreation center will have a table where residents can enter the raffle. After the event, the winners will be selected and will have the option to select a tree. Raffle winners will have their chosen tree delivered to their home with more information on planting and care.

Tree options:

  • Northern Catalpas
  • Boxelder Maples

You can see native animals like bison, deer, raptors, songbirds, waterfowl, and more during a visit.
