Children's Arbor Day

April 2005

To celebrate Arbor Day and Denton's status as the Redbud Capitol of Texas, a community wide volunteer program was officially created and named Children's Arbor Day. Every spring this program distributes Redbud seedlings to all third grade students at each public and private school in Denton.

Sponsored by Keep Denton Beautiful, this program is the kickoff event for the annual Denton Redbud Festival, the city's official Arbor Day celebration. In April 2005 volunteers from Keep Denton Beautiful, Denton County Master Gardeners, Denton Garden Clubs, and Northstar Bank presented an Arbor Day program and distributed over 1,600 Redbud seedlings to all third grade students in Denton. This program is a wonderful opportunity to introduce the children and their teachers to the importance and beauty of trees in our community.
