Waukesha Arbor Day Volunteers Welcomed

WAUKESHA, WI — Waukesha County Parks is hosting a volunteer tree planting event on Saturday, April 28 from 9 a.m. to noon in Fox River Park to celebrate Arbor Day.

Residents and groups are invited to help reforest and enhance the park. Fox River Park is located at W264S4500 River Rd., Waukesha.

“Planting trees not only enhances our public spaces, we’ll also be leaving a legacy for Waukesha County residents to enjoy for years to come,” said County Executive Paul Farrow. “Adding trees to county lands in honor of Arbor Day is one of my favorite traditions.”

Volunteers and county staff will be planting 250 native tree seedlings from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Nursery. Volunteers interested in assisting with planting the native tree seedlings should pre-register for a time slot online at http://waukeshacounty.maxgalaxy.net/BrowseActivities.aspx by typing “Arbor Day” in the search box or call (262) 896-8074.

Attendees will receive free park entrance and a free seedling to take home (while supplies last). Pre-registration is required by April 22 to ensure a spot.
