Arbor Day

The Tyler Trees Committee and the City of Tyler Urban Forestry Division will host our annual Arbor Day celebration on Nov. 23, 2024!

This shift from January to November isn't just a random choice - it's all about syncing up with Texas Arbor Day, the optimal time for tree planting in Texas. Plus, the weather can be milder in November, making for a much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Join us at Noble E. Young Park for our Annual Arbor Day celebration and volunteer to make a difference! Register to receive a free t-shirt, lunch, and a chance to win a door prize. 

Part of holding Tree City USA status is to have an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The City has held Tree City USA status for 15 years.
