Happy Valley is fortunate to have a great partner in Friends of Trees, a local organization dedicated to inspiring interest in our urban forests by bringing people together to plant and care for trees and natural areas. For well over a decade, multiple community plantings and tree care events have been held in Happy Valley every year. These activities aim to improve water quality and habitats for wildlife, and have been instrumental in helping maintain our flourishing greenspaces and parks.

While Earth Day is officially Apr. 22 and Arbor Day is Apr. 25, here in Happy Valley we are celebrating this designation on Apr. 19 with a special mulching project at Village Green Park that commemorates both. Just one of several springtime tree care events, the occasion serves to shed light on the benefits of trees and encourage the community to take an active role in their care.
