Excelsior goes green with Arbor Day tree planting celebration
In celebration of Arbor Day on April 25 and Arbor Month throughout the month of May, the city of Excelsior partnered with Minnesota non-profit organization, Tree Trust for a tree planting event, May 17.
Held at United Methodist Church in Excelsior, members of the Tree Trust alongside Excelsior’s Parks and Natural Resources Manager Kevin Quinn provided a tree planting demonstration to teach attendees of all ages the healthiest way to plant a tree. Specifically, how to know if the hole in the ground is big enough for the tree, how to prepare the tree’s roots for proper growth, and how to provide the best area for the tree.
Ten trees of different species were provided to be planted by attendees in other areas of the church’s property, including white pine and oak trees.
