Arbor Day is Friday, April 26th. To celebrate Arbor Day in Moscow, the City of Moscow and the Moscow Tree Commission have partnered with West Park Elementary School to plant three royal raindrop crabapple and three autumn gold gingko trees at Ghormley Park on Friday, April 26th, 2024, from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This event is free, family friendly, and open to the public.
The ceremony will begin at 12:15 p.m. at the Ghormley Park picnic shelter, located at 504 Home Street, Moscow, ID 83843. Limited Parking is available at Ghormley Park in the north end of the parking lot and along Home Street. Parking is also available in the University of Idaho parking lots 64A and 64B, just to the west of Ghormley Park.
Following the ceremony, participants will walk to the southeast portion of Ghormley Park adjacent to Field #2 at 1:00 p.m. to meet West Park Elementary kindergarten students who will present their artwork. Participants and students will then plant the six trees.
Free bur-gambel oak, blue spruce, and smooth sumac seedlings will also be available to adults to celebrate Arbor Day while supplies last.
Arbor Day is recognized throughout the nation and the world. The City of Moscow and Moscow Tree Commission are committed to a community forestry program that supports a safe, healthy, and attractive urban forest.
