Tree Planting at the Trinity River Audubon Center
The

Texas Arbor Day on Friday, November 4, 2016 with the reading of the Arbor Day
Proclamation followed by a tree planting at the Trinity River Audubon Center. Sixth

while planting the trees. The City of Dallas has Tree City USA recognition given by the Arbor
Day Foundation.

green. Volunteer groups, Trinity
