Avon Arbor Day

Avon Arborist Rich Varga mans the shovel

The Avon Tree Commission hosted its second annual Arbor Day celebration at Every Child’s Playground last Saturday.

Mayor Bryan Jensen welcomed guests and presented Ram Appana with a proclamation recognizing the global Save Soil movement committed to addressing the global soil crisis.

Avon City Arborist Richard Varga demonstrated the proper way to plant a tree, and a sapling giveaway shared new trees with those who attended. It was a casual day of community with an important message of the commitment to maintaining our natural environment.
