Shade Tree Commission to focus Arbor Day 2026 on middle-school students
Summary
Commissioners endorsed a plan to involve middle-school students in Arbor Day 2026, citing prior success with Euclid High and logistical ease of organizing a single middle school.
The Shade Tree Commission agreed to pursue Arbor Day 2026 activities that engage public school students, with the chair proposing a focus on middle-school students because the city has a single middle school, which is easier to organize than multiple elementary schools. The chair said the commission has involved Euclid High students in recent years and wants to restore that student engagement to younger grades.
The chair will approach a contact at the middle school and report back by the January 8 committee meeting on levels of interest and possible participation. Commissioners agreed the program should emphasize student involvement in planting and education rather than ceremonial single-tree dedications.
