EDMONDS – Join your friends and neighbors on October 25th from 10 a.m. – noon to help plant nearly 500 trees and shrubs in honor of Arbor Day. The Edmonds Stewards will be hosting work parties at Yost Park, Pine Ridge Park, and the Edmonds Marsh, and the public is invited to join them. The event is free, and no experience is necessary.

Planting native trees and shrubs enhances habitat diversity and ensures that our forests thrive for generations to come. In the U.S., National Arbor Day falls on the last Friday in April. However, many communities in the Pacific Northwest, including Edmonds, celebrate Arbor Day in the fall, when planting conditions are more favorable. During this time, newly planted trees can develop deep roots over the winter to survive the dry summer months.
