To Preserve and Expand Bath's Urban Forest
Arbor Day Celebration
Wednesday, July 31, 2024, 1:30 - 2:30
The Bath Community Forestry Committee in cooperation with the Bath Department of Parks and Recreation’s Cemetery and Parks Division and Forestry Division, would like to invite you to join us for a tree planting ceremony in Oak Grove Cemetery to celebrate Arbor Day.
The City of Bath is a proud participant in Tree City USA, a program that has been recognizing communities across America for their dedication to managing and expanding their public trees. Arbor Day celebrates the benefits of trees and encourages people to plant trees in their communities.
“Our cemeteries are home to many beautiful trees we enjoy in the City of Bath and trees enhance these sacred grounds,” said City Forester Jack Hernandez. “We encourage everyone to make trees a priority and join us in planting trees to benefit our community and celebrate Arbor Day.”
The ceremony will take place at the main entrance to Oak Grove Cemetery, between the two ponds along Oak Grove Avenue. Parking is available in the cemetery and along Oak Grove Avenue.
For more information regarding the ceremony, please contact the Bath Department of Parks and Recreation Office at (207) 443-8360.
