This year's Arbor Day celebration spans two days, and 140 trees will be planted at Coviello Park. The Florida Forest Service will give away native trees at the Friday celebration. Trees are first come, first serve while supplies last.

Volunteers from Comcast's Team UP program will plant 40 trees on Arbor Day and the remaining 100 trees the following day. Additionally, they will complete trail cleanup and maintenance.
