Fanwood’s annual Arbor Day observance took place Friday, April 28, in Carriage House Park. The annual observance is a program of the Fanwood Shade Tree Commission, which recruits the Park Middle School Environmental Club to present a short program in honor of Arbor Day. This year is the 24th consecutive year Fanwood has been named a Tree City USA, a designation that sets Fanwood apart as a town that values trees and has an active program for tree sustainability. Children from Park Middle did a presentation on the Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle that is killing ash trees through this part of the country. Cub Scouts from Pack 98 at Coles Elementary School provided a color guard. And Fanwood Councilwoman Kathy Mitchell read a proclamation from the Mayor and Council. Councilmen Russ Huegel and Tom Kranz were also present. Shade Tree Commission Chairman Steve Falco was master of ceremonies. We look forward to another great year as a Tree City USA designated town.
