Arbor Day Celebration! The Tree Board cordially invites you to join us on Thursday, April 10th at 11:00 a.m., as we re-plant our tree canopy. We will be planting a legacy Oak Tree. The initiative includes our Weaverville Primary School children who will take part in the event and will receive tree seedlings to support our educational program, fostering a connection to the land.
By planting this Red Oak Tree, it is a reminder of the impacts of Hurricane Helene, reinforcing our dedication to preserving & continuing a legacy for generations to come. Together let's rebuild and enhance our local environment in this beautiful community.. Main Street Nature Park #buncombecounty #weaverville # #arborday #wncnews
