RITree’s 3rd Annual Arbor Day Celebration will be held on Saturday, May 8, 2010 at City Park in Warwick 9:30 a.m - 3:00 p.m.. The event will once again feature tree planting and care demonstrations, educational booths and a plant disease clinic run by local plant professionals. The Fair is held each year to celebrate the beauty and benefits of trees. This year RITree and National Grid will provide 100 saplings for planting throughout City Park. Species will include dogwood, magnolia, oak, sweetgum and cherry. These trees are all hardy plant species tolerant of urban conditions. They are expected to form a lush green foliage canopy to shade visitors to City Park for many decades to come. The saplings will be planted on May 8th by tree stewards and volunteers.

The Arbor Day Fair is a very special time for the entire family. Where else can you socialize with friends, learn about plants, and improve the environment by planting trees? So mark the date on your calendar. Come for a few minutes or a few hours and make a difference that will last a lifetime.
