The Board invites you to a an Arbor Day tree planting and pruning demonstration at 309 High Street (at the corner of 2nd Ave and High Street).

Come show your support for this important town program and help celebrate our 31-year TreeCity USA anniversary.” The Oriental Tree Board is an all-volunteer extension of the Town administration, charged with the planning, planting and maintenance of trees on Town property and rights-of-way.

They can always use able-bodied adjunct volunteers to help with these activities. They work most Tuesdays from 9a until noon, depending on season. If you are interested in helping, contact the Town Hall to find out where they are working that day. 252-249-0555. Bring loppers, work gloves and a smile.
