Join us for the annual Arbor Day Festival on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 from 10am – 4pm as we celebrate the importance of trees and environmental conservation. Hosted by Planting Fields Foundation and New York State Parks, this two-day celebration promises a weekend of family-friendly fun!
The Arbor Day Festival serves as a reminder of the essential role that trees play in sustaining our planet and not only celebrates the many benefits that trees provide – including improved air quality, reduced carbon emissions, enhanced biodiversity, and prevention of soil erosion – but also serves as a catalyst for action toward environmental preservation.
