Commissioners outlined programming for the upcoming Arbor Day/Earth Day celebration, scheduled for Thursday the 24th beginning at 4 p.m. Activities will include vehicle and maintenance displays, an owl‑naming contest, children's tree art, raffles, a fire‑safety presentation and an exhibit on Piedmont raptors and completed park projects.
Eka Schneider, communications program manager, said staff will start publicity the following week and run a series of communications and an Earth Month video to drive attendance and recognition of heritage‑tree nominators.

Commissioners also discussed volunteer engagement — including scouts — and the logistics of raffles, prizes and sustainability displays.
