Charleston holds annual Arbor Day celebration
- Columbia, Missouri, held Arbor Day events during April, including a seedling giveaway at a Saturday farmers market in 2025.
- The celebration followed a long history of Arbor Day starting in Nebraska and gained support through programs like Tree City USA and the Arbor Day Foundation.
- More than 1,000 seedlings, mostly sycamores selected from Missouri's state nursery, were distributed by volunteers aiming to educate residents about tree benefits.
- Eric Schmittel noted fruit-, nut-, and flower-producing seedlings were most requested, while Mike Fiaoni emphasized the sycamore’s regional adaptability and free statewide distribution.
- These efforts contribute to improving local environments and community engagement, with Columbia investing over $5 per capita annually in urban forestry.
