The Public Works Maintenance concrete crew will <br /> remove portions of sidewalk at both the Orchard location, as well as at Charlenton at 17~' <br /> Street. After the tree planting at Franklin and Orchard, ETF volunteers and the <br /> NeighborWoods Coordinator will plant four red oaks at 17"' and Charnelton and six oaks at <br /> 255 Mill Street to finish up their tree planting season. <br /> Arbor Day is America's national tree holiday, a day set aside to plant ceremonial trees, <br /> educate children about the importance of trees, and honor the important role tre®s play in the <br /> daily lives of people in communities across the country. This project was selected to <br /> commemorate Arbor Day this year because the purpose of Trees for Concrete so closely <br /> matches the mission of Arbor Day. Founded in 1872, Arbor Doy is now celebrated in all 50 <br /> states. Oregonians celebrate Arbor Week the first full week in April.
