Arbor Day celebration set for April 14
Plainsboro Township has been actively celebrating Arbor Day for many years and this the celebration is scheduled for April 14.
Plainsboro’s Shade Tree Advisory Committee will again team up with Town Center and Wicoff elementary schools for an event that focuses on environmental education.
"Arbor Day provides a great opportunity to educate our children in a "hands on" fashion about the importance of caring for the environment," stated Township Committeeman Michael Weaver.
This year participants will be treated to demonstrations of organic fertilization and tree care and maintenance. Students will also participate in a tree planting ceremony with Mayor Peter Cantu and Committeeman Michael Weaver.
