Arbor Day Action

Friday, April 24, 2015
Banner Graphic/ERIC BERNSEE Observing Arbor Day 2015, students in John Garner's Greencastle High School Environmental Science Class listen as Mayor Sue Murray reads a proclamation declaring April 22 as Greencastle Arbor Day (above) and then participate in a tree-planting effort at Big Walnut Sports Park with park personnel David Bault (left) and Rod Weinschenk. Creating a hole to plant one of six new trees along the new disc golf course at Big Walnut, Catherine Abu Hashish (left) and Hayden Rector give their shovels a workout as classmate Madison Fauvergue waits to deposit the tree in its new spot. Greencastle was recently designated a Tree City USA for the 16th time by the National Arbor Day Foundation.
