The City of Creve Coeur is hosting a free Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 28, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Government Center in the Council Chambers located at 300 N. New Ballas Road. Arbor Day festivities will feature essay readings, tree giveaways and a presentation on native pollinators.
The Arbor Day Celebration, hosted by the City’s Horticulture, Environment and Beautification (HEB) Committee, kicks off with Creve Coeur elementary school students reading their winning essays entitled, “A World Without Trees.” Immediately following, Urban Forester Perry Eckhardt from the Missouri Department of Conservation will briefly present “Trees, Shrubs, and Pollinators."
