Arbor Day Recap

On Friday, April 30, 2021 at 6:30 p.m., City celebrated Arbor Day by planting an evergreen tree in James Adams Park in Lakeland. The evergreen will function as a gathering place for the Lakeland comunity during the holiday season.

The park was named in honor of long-time resident James Adams. Mr. Adams was an active member of the community, an avid gardener, and enthusiastic supporter of environmental issues. The park was officially dedicated as James Adams Park with a ribbon cutting ceremony in 1996.

Thank you to Mrs. Adams and her family (cover image), the Lakeland Civic Association, the City's Tree and Landscape Board (image below), and everyone who joined us during our Arbor Day celebration.
