Gulf Shores to Celebrate 37 years of Being a Tree City

City of Gulf Shores 37th Annual Arbor Day Celebration set for February 24th

The City of Gulf Shores is celebrating 37 years of being named a Tree City with its 37th Annual Arbor Day Celebration, presented by the Gulf Shores Beautification Board. This event will take place on Saturday, February 24, at the Erie H. Meyer Civic Center, from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., or until all trees have been distributed.

Residents of each household that reside within the Gulf Shores corporate limits may select four different trees from six different varieties:

• Red Buckeye

• Parsley Haw

• Sand Pine

• Hoptree

• Winged Sumac

• Winged Elm

To receive the trees, residents must show proof of residency. The trees are potted in one-gallon containers and are ready for planting. A brochure giving specifics on each tree is available to residents. Members of the Gulf Shores Landscape Division will be onsite to answer questions about the trees.

As an added incentive, 12 lucky attendees will receive a free specialty fruit tree.
