FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Edina to celebrate Arbor Day with ceremonial tree planting
Edina, Minn., April 18, 2011 – On Friday, April 27, the City of Edina will celebrate Arbor Day by hosting an
event at Creek Valley Park, 6301 Gleason Road. The City of Edina will plant 15 evergreens there to promote
environmental awareness in the community.
The trees will be planted in a berm on the south side of the hockey rink in the park. Besides the
environmental benefits derived from trees, the berm will serve to preserve and enhance ice quality during the
winter months by blocking sunlight.
The Arbor Day event will commence at 10 a.m. with the start of the tree planting. The public is invited to
attend or aid in the tree planting. City Forester Tom Horwath will be on site to help with planting and to
discuss aspects of City forestry operations with residents.
For more information on the Edina Parks & Recreation Department or its activities, call 952-826-0367.
Contact Horwath at 952-826-0308.
