Community Volunteers Plant Over 150 Trees for Harford County’s Arbor Day Celebration
Since 2003, Harford County has planted more than 33,000 native trees throughout the county.
Volunteers of all ages joined together to help plant more than 150 native trees in celebration of Arbor Day at Swan Harbor Farm in Havre de Grace on Friday, April 3.
“We appreciate the many volunteers who took the time to come out and help plant trees that will serve our community for generations,” County Executive Bob Cassilly said. “Expanding buffer zones, increasing forest cover, and creating wildlife habitat will help reduce pollution and also demonstrates the power of working together to protect and enhance our natural environment.”
During the event, County Executive Cassilly also announced that Harford County has once again earned the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA designation in recognition of its ongoing commitment to effective forest management. This honor underscores the county’s dedication to planting and maintaining trees throughout the community.
Since 2003, Harford County has planted more than 33,000 native trees throughout the county. Plantings this year included red maple, sweetbay magnolia, sweetgum, swamp white oak, and river birch.
