The Woodlands Annual Arbor Day Celebration
Saturday, January 23, 2016
Since 1977, The Woodlands Development Company and its sponsors have given away over 1.32 million tree seedlings at Arbor Day. For the fourth year, The Woodlands Township will donate an additional 91,000 tree seedlings to be distributed at the event to enhance the forested setting of The Woodlands. This brings the total number of tree seedlings to be handed out to 121,000.
Seven different varieties of free tree seedlings will be available, continuing a 40-year tradition. The selection of trees includes Bald Cypress, Eastern Redbud, Loblolly Pine, Nuttall Oak, Overcup Oak, River Birch and Water Oak. In addition to receiving free tree seedlings, guests may register at the event to win one of five, seven-gallon native trees.
Lovable mascot of The Woodlands, Puffy Pine Cone®, will also celebrate his birthday, beginning at 1 p.m. with free birthday cupcakes.
Free giant inflatable rides and rock walls, pony rides, petting zoo and face painting will entertain the crowd. Concessions will also be sold at the event (cash only). Musical entertainment will be provided by local youth.
