FREE ADMISSION
Founded in 1872 by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska, National Arbor Day is observed annually on the last Friday in April. On the very first Arbor Day, April 10, 1872, an estimated one million trees were planted! Each year, thousands around the country celebrate together by planting trees in their communities.
Join the Borough of Waynesboro Council, the Shade Tree Commission, and Renfrew Committee, Inc. at Renfrew Museum & Park on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 2:00PM as we celebrate the 154th anniversary of Arbor Day! Gather with us for a planting and dedication of a
Vulcan Magnolia sapling to kick off the planting season at Renfrew! Special thank you to the Shade Tree Commission, Bartlett Tree Experts, and Tru-Precision Lawn Care for making this special day possible!
