Due to the recent weather cancellation of the Norfolk Arbor Day Celebration, October 3, 2015, The Norfolk Tree Commission invites troops for a fun filled morning at Lafayette Park on November 7, 2015. Led by the City of Norfolk City Forester, Michael Nentwich, and World famous Arborist, Marcus E. Jones, we are planning a Tree Trail Trek throughout the park, where the Girl Scouts will have the opportunity to show off what they have learned to earn 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize hand-made tree medals.
This will be a great opportunity for Girl Scouts to broaden their knowledge of our local flora, while also getting a chance to interact with city staff, volunteers and the Norfolk Master Gardeners who are currently making tree-mendous efforts to increase Norfolk's urban tree canopy. The Norfolk Master Gardeners will distribute free trees to Norfolk citizens that day. Girl Scouts will be able to adopt a tree. We will begin the Tree Trail Trek at 10 a.m. and should be finished by 11 a.m. The free tree distribution will continue until noon. Contact Marcus E. Jones at 757-683-5839 for more information.
