NATIONAL ARBOR DAY TREE PLANTING at Lakeshore Park in Canandaigua
The City of
Canandaigua is a Tree City USA. Each
year a tree is planted with an explanation of proper tree care. The Mayor reads a proclamation and free posters and goodies are available from the Arbor Day Foundation. This year’s tree was planted in honor of
