The City of Cornelia will celebrate Arbor Day with a public ceremony at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 16.
“We will be planting an assortment of shade-producing trees on city-owned property on the corner of Moss Street and Wells Street,” says Cornelia City Manager Dee Anderson.
Last year, the city planted three Pink Dogwood trees to complete the Chenocetah Water Tank Beautification Project that began in 2022.
This year marks Cornelia’s 33rd year in the Tree City USA program, which aims to help communities manage and expand their public trees.
Although National Arbor Day is in April, each state typically celebrates Arbor Day during its regional planting season, which in Georgia is in February.
