Arbor Day 2021

The 2021 Rhode Island Arbor Day was one of the best ever.  Over 100 people attended the morning event held at Hull Street Park in East Providence on Friday April 29.  Among the gathering was RI Governor Dan McKee, Lt. Governor Sabina Matos and East Providence Mayor Roberto DaSilva.  But the day belonged to Whiteknact Elementary School students.  They sang songs and helped to plant 15 saplings at the park.  Later, they sat for a ‘team picture’ to mark the occasion of this very special tree holiday.   The picture makes for a great keepsake and is available to download here.
