This will be the 21st annual Arbor Day Celebration in Rochester. The event will take place at Silver Lake Park at 840 7th St NE.

Organizers will move the event to the Rochester Community and Technical College's Field House if there is bad weather.

The video below shows last year's event and it looks like RPS busses students to the event which is great. If you have the chance to take your kids you should because it looks like a fun event with lots of activities and educational opportunities.

There will be FREE stuff!

Attendees will receive a free tree.

The Arbor Day Foundation distributes 10 million trees worldwide each year which creates so many benefits including oxygen production, reducing stormwater runoff, providing shade for us, and protection to birds and other animals.
