Join in the Annual Snoqualmie Arbor Day Celebration and tree planting. Council Member Bob Jeans will talk about the city’s commitment to preserving the natural beauty of our community and Snoqualmie’s participation in the Tree City USA program. There will be fun and educational games for children to learn about trees and each child will receive a free tree seedling to plant at home. This year’s Arbor Day poster contest winner, Audrey Estaban of Snoqualmie Elementary School, will be presented with an award by Council Member Jeans.
