Tree Lafayette and Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department hosted a tree planting ceremony Saturday to honor Arbor Day. Volunteers, including a crew from WLFI-TV, helped plant trees along Twyckenham Boulevard.
Below are a couple of pictures from our group as we 'dug' into our work. Above is reporter/videographer Kate Kelty getting Mayor Tony Roswarski's opening remarks. Below is a shot of Reporter Julie Krizen pounding in a post to support the new tree. There's also a picture of Martin and his son who live nearby. The father-son duo joined us in planing two trees. And the large group photo just shows everyone who helped on Saturday.
Tree Lafayette has now planted 1,000 trees in the community.
Next year's Arbor Day celebration will have volunteers plant trees along Creasy Lane.
