Oregon Arbor Week

Oregon Arbor Week is the first week of April. In 2014 it runs April 7-13. I checked out the Arbor Day website at www.arborday.org/Oregon to find out that as of April 2013, Albany has been a Tree City for 19 years. The site has many links to further resources and gives suggestions for celebrating Arbor Week in your city. One of the suggestions was to document your favorite trees. Here are a couple of my favorites. As you can see right now there is an explosion of pink in the Albany Historic District.
