Make your plans for the month ahead with our list of five things to know for April.
Arbor Day Celebration April 29:
Join Parker Parks and Recreation for the Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 29 at Discovery Park.
We will be celebrating by giving out free seedling trees and perennial flowers. Stop by the arborist table and meet the Town’s Parks and Forestry Team, who can answer questions about tree planting, pruning and tree selection. Additional vendors will be present to offer environmental information, kids will enjoy a fun craft and food trucks will be onsite to grab a snack!
Giveaway items are available on a first-come, first-served basis; registration is not required. For more information, visit the event webpage.
