Waitsburg Urban Forestry
PROJECT LEADER: Allison BoND
Waitsburg Urban Forestry was established in 2018 to introduce youth to the value of trees in a community. The Project provides small trees to youth for Arbor Day in coordination with the Waitsburg Elementary School. The project reaches over 130 youth each year. This Project also planted with elementary students, eight mid-sized Dogwood trees in front of the school along Highway 12.
On Arbor Day in 2018 & 2019, every child at Waitsburg Elementary received an evergreen seedling to plant, along with planting and care instructions. You can read the article about the Arbor Day event or the 2023 Future Forest initiative in the Waitsburg Times.
October 3-7 | Starting at $500
