Arbor Day in Martinez Is Right Around The Corner

The Martinez Park and Recreation staff will provide crafts and flower planting for Arbor Day participants on Wednesday, March 11 beginning at 10 a.m. at Susana Park, Estudillo, Henrietta and Susana streets.

The general public is invited to participate in this celebration of trees and wildlife. The City of Martinez has been recognized since 2003 as a “Tree City USA” by the National Arbor Day Foundation.

This distinction demonstrates this community’s commitment to urban forestry and promoting the benefits of trees. The city encourages residents to support the principles of Arbor Day year round; reduce, reuse and recycle all paper products.
