City of Reno recently issued the following announcement.
On Friday, April 29, 2022, at 2:30 p.m., the City of Reno will commemorate Arbor Day 2022, the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day, the 50th anniversary of the Arbor Day Foundation, and the City's 40th year as a Tree City USA with a Proclamation and ceremonial tree planting at Powning Veterans Memorial Park. Two new trees will be planted during the event.
“What a special day this will be,” Reno City Councilmember Naomi Duerr said. “Not only is it the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day, but we also launched ReLEAF Reno six years ago to the day at Powning Veterans Memorial Park.”
ReLEAF Reno is a City-sponsored program designed to preserve and expand Reno’s urban forest. Today, Reno’s tree canopy is around 5 percent. The goal of ReLEAF Reno is to preserve the health of existing trees and expand our urban tree canopy. ReLEAF Reno T-shirts can be purchased online and will be available for sale at the event, to go toward this important cause.
