Arbor Day in SLO

This year the Earth Day Alliance has chosen to partner with the City of San Luis Obispo’s 25th annual Arbor Day by holding events back to back. On Saturday, April 26, the city of San Luis Obispo will celebrate its 25th Anniversary as a Tree City USA at Laguna Lake Park Commemorative Tree Grove from 9 AM to 12 PM. Trees will be planted, an art and prose contest will be showcased and the new Heritage Trees for the City will be announced.
