On Thursday, April 25, 2024 the city of Lincoln Forestry Department planted two new trees at Central School in Lincoln. The tree planting ceremony included a written presentation by city Street & Allies Superintendent Walt Landers.

“We are here today to dedicate these trees and celebrate Arbor Day, which is tomorrow Friday April 26, 2024, and demonstrate the City of Lincoln's commitment to the Tree City USA program for 23 years.

“We are planting one Ivory Silk Lilac and one Autum Blaze Maple.

“The Lincoln Street Department staff oversees forestry operations in the City of Lincoln and participates in the Tree City USA Program because it provides direction,
assistance, and recognition for our community. It also helps us manage a healthy, sustainable forestry program so we can all enjoy the benefits a healthy urban forest provides our community and a beautiful landscape for the residents we serve.”

Afterward, Landers, accompanied by street personal and a representative from the Arbor Day Foundation posed for the official Tree City photo.
