The City of Redmond will hold a community tree planting at Anderson Park on Friday, April 25, at 1 p.m., part of a weeklong Arbor Day program the city announced on CityNewsNow.
CityNewsNow presenter Jenny Liebeck said the Arbor Day schedule includes nature walks and free movies and highlights the city’s recent tree-planting work. "Redmond thrives through our community's collaboration and dedication to one another and our environment," Liebeck said on the broadcast.
The presenter noted city staff and volunteers planted more than 1,300 trees last year. The broadcast also cited broader municipal sustainability figures, saying Redmond sources about 85% of city operations electricity from clean renewable sources and powers roughly 37% of its light-duty vehicles with alternative fuels.
City communications did not provide additional details about planting locations beyond Anderson Park or whether tools, seedlings or volunteer registration are required. The Arbor Day segment on CityNewsNow encouraged community participation and listed other family-oriented events during the week.
