Celebrate Raleigh Arbor Day

Celebrate Raleigh Arbor Day is a community service event dedicated to expanding and strengthening the urban tree canopy throughout the city. This initiative supports the official municipal goal of planting twenty-four thousand trees by the year 2032 through active volunteer participation and education.

Attendees will participate in a ceremonial tree planting led by local officials followed by an official Arbor Day proclamation. The event features interactive stations where experts demonstrate proper tree care techniques and explain local ecosystem preservation. Volunteers receive hands-on experience and take home a complimentary tree to plant in their own yards to help reach our collective greening targets.

This event is open to all residents who are interested in sustainability and environmental stewardship. The atmosphere is productive and collaborative, making it an excellent opportunity for families, students, and neighbors to connect while making a tangible impact on the local landscape. Please join us to contribute to a greener future for Raleigh. You are encouraged to arrive early to ensure you receive your free sapling and to participate in the full range of scheduled planting activities.
