Arbor Day Tree Planting Ceremony at Great Embankment Park

Please join us for our Arbor Day Tree Planting Ceremony on Friday, April 29 at Great Embankment Park. Our Arbor Day Celebration at Great Embankment Park will feature a commemorative tree planting, a poetry reading and an Arbor Day proclamation. Town Supervisor Bill Smith also will discuss the Town's plans to earn a Climate Smart Community designation and to become a Certified Tree City USA in 2022.

We'll be planting seven trees of three different types, each well suited to this sunny canal side location: Sugar Maple, Oak and Sycamore. These hardy tree species are native to our area and have long life spans – they're expected to add beauty and shade to the park for the next 100 years or more! The plantings underscore the Town’s commitment to preserving and expanding native species and habitats in Pittsford.  Great Embankment Park is located at 632 Marsh Road. The planting will take place near the soccer field adjacent to the canal.
