The City of North Bend proclaimed Saturday, Oct. 8 as Arbor Day 2016 and invites citizens to a community tree planting event that day beginning at 1 p.m. at Tollgate Farm Park.

Join city staff, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and other community volunteers to plant native evergreen trees at the park, to beautify the park and create additional interest and summer shade.

Volunteers should park at the Tollgate Farm parking lot, located at 1300 W. North Bend Way, and follow the pathway east to the planting area.

Dress appropriately and bring shovels, as well as water and snacks if desired.
