It’s time to paint Edinburg green. In recognition of Texas Arbor Day, the City of Edinburg is encouraging the community to attend its tree adoption event on Saturday, November 15. The Texas Arbor Day Celebration kicks off at 8 a.m. at Promenade Park, located at 202 N. 10th Avenue.
Thanks to a grant in partnership with Region One, city staff will be distributing more than 100 free trees to residents while supplies last. In addition, city crews and volunteers will plant 10 new trees on-site, further enhancing the park’s natural beauty. The Texas A&M Forest Service will also join the celebration, offering even more trees and resources to help residents contribute to a more sustainable Edinburg.
