Arbor Day

The City of Melbourne celebrates tree planting with an annual Arbor Day event on the third Friday in January.  Winter is the ideal time to plant trees in Florida giving trees the advantage of developing their root system well before the hot weather arrives the next summer. 

Free tree seedlings are available for people who attend Arbor Day.  We typically have Arbor Day in a different location every year.  We plant a tree at each location and invite the public to lend a hand.
