DIAMOND BAR– In commemoration of Arbor Day and Diamond Bar’s 15 consecutive years of Tree City USA designation, the City is planning a special tree-themed celebration on Friday, April 29 at Pantera Elementary School.

The celebration will start at 9:30 a.m. and include tree-themed student performances, recognition of the winner of the school’s Arbor Day Poster Contest, and a tree planting ceremony on school grounds. Founded in 1872, Arbor Day is the nation’s oldest environmental holiday celebrating trees and their energy-producing and conserving role.

The Tree City USA program recognizes communities that invest and manage their urban and community forest resource.

Event attendance is free and open to the public; however guests must first stop by the school’s main office, 801 Pantera Drive, to obtain a visitor’s pass. For more information, contact the City’s Recreation Services Division at 909.839.7070.
