Ocean City’s Arbor Day Celebration planned for April 28
Ocean City, MD – (April 18, 2023): The Town of Ocean City along with the Ocean City Beautification Committee will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 28 at Ocean City Elementary School (OCES).
The long-standing tradition is hosted by the Ocean City Beautification Committee, who has partnered with the students at OCES to bring this program to the community. Perhaps the highlight of the Arbor Day celebration is when students assist the Mayor and City Council in planting a tree as part of the Beautification Committee’s TreeMendous Program.
The celebration begins at 9:30 a.m. and is followed by the presentation of the flags by the American Legion Color Guard. Students will then present skits, poems, songs and artwork to show the importance of trees in our environment. After the performances, the students will assist the Mayor and Council with the planting of a tree. Following the tree planting, the students will enjoy demonstrations by the Ocean City Police Department’s mounted police and K-9 units.
All citizens and visitors are invited to join the Mayor and City Council along with the Beautification Committee for this long-standing tradition. For more information, contact Donna Greenwood, Beautification Committee Chairperson, at 410-289-7060 or visit www.oceancitymd.gov/ocbc.
