Posted on: April 30, 2021

Livingston Township Council Members Al Anthony, Michael Vieira, and Rudy Fernandez joined employees from the Livingston Department of Public Works and Deputy Township Manager Russ Jones in planting a tree on Arbor Day, April 30.

Each year, Livingston Township celebrates Arbor Day by planting weeping cherry trees near the Gazebo on Memorial Oval. The Township has had a long-standing dedication to expanding and enhancing its greenery, engaging in considerable tree recycling efforts, and providing extensive land-use planning coordination.

Arbor Day is a national holiday celebrated on the last Friday in April. Since 1872, when pioneer J. Sterling Morton first dedicated the holiday to tree planting, Arbor Day has continued to reshape the landscape of America. The Arbor Day Foundation distributes and plants an estimated 15 million trees each year and provides citizens with a valuable resource.
