HAPPY ARBOR DAY, VERMONT ! – May 6
Happy Arbor Day, Vermont! We celebrate trees and all of the benefits they provide.
Did you know?
Trees provide so many benefits including: cleaning the air by absorbing pollutant gases and filtering out particulates, cooling the streets, conserving energy, preventing soil erosion, increasing property values, and so much more!
At the library we have ARBOR DAY KITS available to pick up!
The kits include:
Arbor Day Craft Ideas, Tree Scavenger Hunt, Vermont Tree Guide to Top 9 Species and a SUGAR MAPLE SEED PACKET! A great way for families to get outside and learn more about trees! A trip to Vernon’s own Maynard Miller Town Forest would be a great way to celebrate Arbor Day!
