Celebrate Arbor Day

Join us for a ceremony to celebrate Gresham’s annual Arbor Day Tree City USA award and a dedication of the first phase of planting at the Arboretum at Gradin Sports Park.

The first phase planting includes a Street Tree Demonstration feature and Native Conifer and Deciduous Buffer feature.

Events will include:
