SUMMARY:Sesquicentennial Tree Planting
DESCRIPTION:As the City of Arlington celebrates its 150th anniversary\, we’re marking the milestone not just by looking back\, but by growing forward. Our Sesquicentennial Tree Planting at Levitt Pavilion caps off a year-long\, citywide effort to plant 150 trees per month in honor of Arlington’s 150 years — a living legacy rooted in community\, sustainability\, and pride. While trees will be planted during optimal seasons to ensure their long-term health\, the collective goal remains clear: to average 150 trees planted each month across Arlington through a mix of community tree giveaways\, new plantings\, and replacement trees in parks\, neighborhoods and public spaces.
