Summary

Parks staff invited the board and public to a June 16 Grand Opening at Myrick Park marking the arboretum’s accreditation and Arborist Appreciation Day.

Sammie Meyer, Outdoor Recreation Coordinator for the La Crosse Parks Department, invited the board and the public to the Myrick Park Arboretum grand opening on Monday, June 16.

Meyer told the board the arboretum received official accreditation in June 2024 and the June 16 event will include a ribbon cutting, tree-pruning and tree-climbing demonstrations by the city’s arborists and self-guided tours. “That day also falls on arborist appreciation day. So we'll be celebrating our 3 city arborists that day as well,” Meyer said.

Why it matters: the event marks an accreditation milestone for a public greenspace and offers community education on tree care. A formal invitation will be distributed by staff.

Logistics included in the notice: Meyer provided the date and a rough time window of 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and said a formal invitation will follow. No board action was requested at the meeting.
