Arbor Day Events

Annual celebration of events

Held annually on the first Saturday in October the City of Avon, OH and the Tree Commission host its Arbor Day Celebration. Last year's event included performances by the Avon High School Band, speeches from the Mayor, a petting zoo, live music, food and drink. In addition, we had an educational scavenger hunt, a tree planting and trimming demonstration along with several organizations offering valuable information relating to tree planting and care. This year's event will offer much of the same and more!

Similar to last year’s event, the Town of Argyle will be hosting a drive-through style event, to be held at Argyle Town Hall – 308 Denton Street, Argyle, TX 76226, on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Argyle Mayor will have a table for residents to chat and grab coffee and donuts as they drive through and pick up their tree. Keep Argyle Beautiful and local certified arborists, will also be in attendance to share program information and assist with planting best practices.

We get a tree and plant it every year with schools in our community. Kids love to come out while the mayor reads the proclamation, they help throw dirt on the tree. We have gotten a Lorax costume in the past.

🌳 Join the Movement: Texas Arbor Day Celebration at Wayne Frady Park! 🌳

Be a part of something meaningful this Texas Arbor Day as we breathe new life into the beautiful, wooded area of Wayne Frady Park! This isn't just a tree planting—it's a powerful step in restoring native Texas landscapes and creating a thriving natural space for generations to enjoy.

Over the spring and summer, the Lewisville Parks & Recreation Department has been hard at work removing invasive plants and preparing the area for a fresh, healthy start. Now, we need your helping hands to plant hundreds of native trees that will restore the ecosystem and bring shade, beauty, and biodiversity back to this special four-acre site.

Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or brand new to outdoor projects, you'll make a real impact—and have fun doing it! We’ll provide gloves, shovels, safety vests, snacks, and water—all you need is your energy and love for nature.

🌱 Let’s grow something great together.
📅 Don’t miss this opportunity to leave a lasting mark on your community.
