Eagan To Celebrate Arbor Day May 11

EAGAN , MN — The city of Eagan will celebrate Arbor Day May 11 from 4-6 p.m. at Holz Farm, but said it has declared the month of May as Arbor Month.

The city shared that trees are a part of its identity, selling over 12,000 trees in the past 30 years during the annual tree sale.

"Arbor Day is more than just planting trees or creating posters," city forester Adam Schnaible said. "It is about understanding the importance of trees in our environment and appreciating their important role in our lives. The City of Eagan shares that, and values that. In fact, we value it so much, our City logo is literally a tree."

Eagan is also hosting The Arbor Day poster contest, and winners will be announced at the Holz Farm celebration, the city said. The posters will be on display during the first week of Market Fest in June, according to the city.
