April 24, 2009 The City of Troy celebrated Arbor Day 2009, and the 23rd consecutive year of Tree City USA designation. Two Chinquapin Oak trees were planted in Community Park as a living tribute to Mrs. Gerri Nichols and Mrs. Nancy Fulker for their service and contributions to our community. |

was joined by members of the Beautification Committee and the Park
Department in the dedication ceremony. Students from all the
elementary schools participated by providing information about the
benefits of trees and in the ceremonial planting of the trees. The
schools represented were also presented a book entitled "Are Trees
Alive" from the Beautification Committee. "Each generation take the Earth as trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity at least as many forests and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed." ~ Anonymous |
