An early Arbor Day celebration will be held on Thursday, April 10, 6:30-7:15 p.m. at The Kenilworth Public Library.
J. Sterling Morton organized the first Arbor Day in 1872 in Nebraska where over one million trees were planted across the state.
In 1884, New Jersey held its first official Arbor Day celebration.
Arbor Day is officially celebrated on the last Friday in April.
Children will have an opportunity to participate in this interactive event, as they learn about the importance of trees in our environment.
This program will be presented by Rutgers Cooperative Extension 4-H of Union County agent Jim Nichnadowicz, and will take place during the regularly scheduled PJ Story Time session.
Children already registered for the PJ Story Time session do not need to register again.
Children ages 4 and up who are not registered for the PJ Story Time program may register for this program. Kenilworth residents may begin to register one week prior to this program. Out of town residents may begin to register two days prior to this program.
