SUMMARY:Alachua County Arbor Day Celebration
LOCATION:E.P. Powers Park on Newnan’s Lake 5910 SE Hawthorne Road, Gainesville, FL
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Alachua County invites the public to a tree-filled celebration for Florida

  Newnan’s Lake on January 17, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<br /><br />The c
 elebration offers multiple opportunities to learn about and celebrate trees
 . Guest speakers and local tree experts will discuss tree care topics such 
 as lighting protection, palm diseases and the importance of trees to butter
 flies and bees. Participants will help plant trees, learn about caring for 
 trees and take a young tree home.<br /><br />Free native flowering trees, v
 ital for our native pollinators, will be available to Arbor Day participant
 s while supplies last. <br /><br />“In Florida, we celebrate Arbor Day in J
 anuary because the shorter days and cooler temperatures are the perfect con
 ditions for planting trees, but it's is also a great time to study trees,” 
 said Alachua County Arborist Lacy Holtzworth. “County residents love to lea
 rn, so we encourage folks to come to our Arbor Day celebration with questio
 ns and a curiosity about these magnificent trees living and growing amongst
  us.”<br /><br />Florida Arbor Day, celebrated during the third week of Jan
 uary, traces back to 1872 when Nebraska resident Sterling Morton inspired t
 he planting of a million trees. Today, Arbor Day is a cherished tradition a
 cross the country, honoring the vital roles trees play in our environment a
 nd communities.
