Celebrate Arbor Day in the Reading Town Forest - help plant 500 trees!

Join the Town of Reading for a day of environmental action and community spirit as we celebrate Arbor Day with a tree planting event at the Town Forest. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just want to dig in and do something good for the planet, this is the perfect way to make a lasting impact!

In partnership with the Reading Public Library, Town Forest Committee, Department of Public Works, and Scout Troop 702, our goal is to plant 500 trees this year - and we can’t do it without you!
