Olmsted’s trees at Caz Park received some large-scale TLC last Saturday! In honor of Arbor Day, tree care companies have been volunteering their time, equipment and talent over the past 25 years, making this the longest-running Arbor Day event of its kind in New York State! Experts help with a wide range of tree care work, from maintenance to hazardous removal! Our forestry manager Mike Sawyer also coordinated a Tree Expo in partnership with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Arborists, ISA Chapter, Inc. and The New York State Urban Forestry Council.

Special Thanks to the following companies who joined us - we are grateful, and so are our trees!
