Observation of Arbor Day will be Friday, April 2. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no formal activities or gatherings are planned. Instead, the City of Sedalia encourages residents to walk, hike, or take a bike ride to appreciate the beauty and benefits obtained from trees and the community. Citizens may also consider observing Arbor Day by planting a tree on their property.
Sedalia is a participant in the Tree City USA Program. This year marks the City’s 12th year of designation as a Tree City USA. The four standards for accomplishing a Tree City USA recognition are for the community to have a Tree Board, adoption of a Tree Care Ordinance, a community forestry program of at least $2 per capita, and a proclamation and observation of Arbor Day.
