Arbor Day 2010
The official National Arbor Day celebration is held the third week in April (the first being April 22, 1932). Because of its southern geographical position, Arbor Day in Georgia is celebrated on the third Friday in February. The activities of the CTC are such as to recognize the third week in February as "Arbor Day Week". Arbor Day is a weeklong celebration in Athens-Clarke County, which includes a tree planting at an area school and some additional activities. Beginning in 1999 at Fowler Drive Elementary School, a seedling from that magnificent white oak, The Tree that Owns Itself, has also been planted at the school. This year festivities centered on Coile Middle School where a large tree planting was carried out by students, staff and CTC volunteers. A seedling of the Tree That Owns Itself was also planted.
